Race Information
The hardest, hottest, highest 5k in Nova Scotia! Do something hard this summer!
Beautiful Nuttby Mountain is the highest runnable point in mainland Nova Scotia. The run will entail approximately 200 meters elevation gain up to the windmills with no significant downhills. This will be a timed event with overall and age class winners announced. But... you can probably forget the PRs! Prizes for the King and Queen of the mountain!
