From the start, proceed along Brunswick Street, turn right (west) on Sackville Street, around the base of Citadel Hill by turning right on Bell Road and right again on Ahern Avenue, passing by the new Citadel High School until reaching the corner of Ahern and Cogswell.
• Turn right (east) for two blocks on Cogswell Street.

Once in Dartmouth, you will head straight up Nantucket Avenue, staying on the left hand side of the coned race course, across Victoria Road and then on to School Street.
• At the top of School you will turn left on Slayter Street (staying on the left side) for a few of blocks to the end of the driveway at #72 Slayter.
• Circle back, again staying to the left, on Slayter to a right turn on Nantucket (stay to the left) and head toward the Macdonald Bridge to return to Halifax.
Once you reach the Halifax side of the bridge you'll then turn left (south) on Brunswick Street and run through one of Halifax's oldest and most historic neighbourhoods, back to the Town Clock and the FINISH LINE.
