COURSE INFORMATION

New for 2012, the 5k route includes one loop on top of Halifax Citadel.
TIPS FOR CONQUERING THE HILL:
Approaching, whether running or walking, the best strategy is to
maintain your effort. This means you can expect your pace to slow down, but the effort
exerted remains constant. The Hill is steep so shorten your stride and keep your shoulders
relaxed. Enjoy the vista at the top and the downhill on your return.
