Race Day: Monday August 2 start time is 8:15am.

Start / Finish Location: Christ Church Hall on Ochterloney Street, Dartmouth

Course :

The race begins in front of Christ Church Hall 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.

Water / Refreshments:

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.

Awards:

The six mile race will offer awards for the first three male and female runners in the following categories: open, master, senior master, golden master, and platinum master.

The two mile race will offer the same awards as above, and will also present awards for all Youth Running Series age categories. Please see the YRS website for details on the age divisions of their categories. Ribbons will be presented to all children under the age of 11 who participate.

New this year:

This year we will also be presenting a special medal to all those who are running a Dartmouth Natal Day race as their first ever road race.

Awards will also be presented for the highest placing Dartmouth resident and for the middle of the pack runner. Plenty of draw prizes will also be available!
