Event Overview
The St James 5 mile challenge is a doozie! The new course starts with an uphill climb leveling off at the half mile mark. From here you have 3 miles of rolling hills through the scenic village of Head of the Harbor before you face the iconic Cordwood Path, which is 1/2 mile incline that would be classified as steep. At the top of the hill you are rewarded with a flat and fast finish.
Race Options
- Challenge Run: A rigorous 5-mile run through scenic landscapes.
- Fun Walk: A shorter route meant for enjoyment and community bonding.
- Family-Friendly: Open to participants of all ages, encouraging community involvement.
