About

The Cape Breton Fiddlers Run Association was formed in the spring of 2005 by the late Lydia & Everett Dickson, with a mandate to promote fitness and health in the community and to offer training for new runners. Each year, we give out the Lydia & Everett Dickson Inspiration Award. This award goes to a group or person who is dedicated to promoting a healthy community and inspiring others to live a healthy lifestyle.

Catering & aid stations

Water and Gatorade at seven water stops along the course. Runners may bring their own food and drinks; volunteers and medical assistance available at Victoria Park.

Pacers

Pacemakers will lead each event group (Startwelle) at target times published on the race day schedule; flagged pacers will help guide participants and clear congestion, especially on shared road sections.
