Rock N Roots Reservoir Run

Immerse yourself in the vibrant hues and crisp air of autumn during the Rock N' Roots Reservoir Run, an invigorating 10km trail race winding through Victoria Park in Truro, Nova Scotia. This scenic loop offers a picturesque journey around the tranquil reservoir, where runners will encounter rolling hills and challenging roots that test endurance while rewarding participants with stunning views of nature's transformation.
The event promises to captivate both experienced trail enthusiasts and newcomers alike, as it showcases the lush beauty and serene atmosphere of Victoria Park during peak foliage season. Participants can expect a dynamic course that challenges them physically while providing ample opportunities for awe-inspiring moments amidst the changing leaves.
For families looking to join in on the fun, this year’s race introduces a Kid's Run at 8:30 AM, offering young runners aged 12 and under an opportunity to explore a shorter but equally scenic 1.2km loop around part of Victoria Park before the main event begins. This free activity encourages children to engage with their community and natural surroundings while supporting local food banks through donations.
Race highlights include hydration stations strategically placed along the route for water replenishment, though participants are advised to bring reusable containers as it is a cupless event. Additionally, post-race refreshments will be available at the finish line to aid in recovery.
As an added incentive, top male and female runners can look forward to complimentary entry into next year’s Rock N' Roots Reservoir Run, further motivating competitors to push their limits while enjoying one of Nova Scotia's most picturesque settings. Don't miss this chance to celebrate autumn alongside fellow trail runners amidst the breathtaking beauty of Victoria Park!
Join us for an unforgettable day filled with scenic views and spirited competition in a setting that truly embodies the essence of fall in Truro, Nova Scotia.
