The race begins in front of Christ Church on Ochterloney Street and runs in a two mile loop around Sullivan’s Pond and downtown Dartmouth. Participants in the two mile race run the loop once, while those in the six mile race run it three times.
The course is mostly flat, but there is a short, somewhat steep hill approaching the two-mile split / finish line. Six mile runners, therefore, will run this hill three times.There will be a water stop at the one mile mark and there will also be water available at the start / finish area.
The post race reception will feature juice, fruit, and doughnuts available on a first come-first serve basis.
