Weekend Overview
Welcome to the 35th running of “The Johnny Miles Running Event Weekend”. This year’s event will prove to be bigger and better than ever. Over the past number of years we have grown from a one day event with about 200 participants to a two day event and over 2000 participants.
The Saturday event will feature the Johnny Walk, which is a leisure walk for all ages held in memory of Johnny Miles and Dr. Johnny Williston, followed by the kids run and the Sobey’s Carbo Loading social and Expo at the John Brother MacDonald Stadium.
On Sunday we will feature the main events. The Marathon and Half Marathon, The Nordic Walk / Recreational Walk, 10km, 5km and 5km Student Challenge. All these events are followed by the Michelin Post Race Luncheon and Awards. As with the last few years we limit registration for the Sunday events in order to guarantee everyone the same great experience. We will allow 2000 participants (including students) for the Sunday events.
As you can see, our event offers something for everyone. Whether you want to qualify for the Boston Marathon or challenge yourself to run your first 5km, we have an event for you.
All events on Sunday are run on the flat, scenic trail system that consists of the Samson and Albion Trails. The course is half on paved roads and half on the hard pack gravel trail. There is basically one 10km loop that you run a number of times depending on your event.
The course is described as flat with a few rolling hills and the one short, steep incline.
Our event has always been famous for great value. Registration for all events is only $50.00 with the exception of the Johnny Walk, Kids Fun Run and the Student Challenge, these events are all FREE. Please see the menu bar at the left of the home for more details.
Please note that walkers are permitted and welcomed in all events!
See you in June!
