Plan your first runMonday and Wednesday runs leave at 6:15 a.m. sharp from the Picaroons Roundhouse parking lot. Plan to arrive between 6:05 and 6:10 because parking can fill. Routes usually cover about 6.5 km using Fredericton’s bridge and river trail network.
The loop follows the North and South Riverfront trails, signed in Wolastoqey as Kansuhsaptuwey and Wapapaptuwey, and runs near Sitansisk. Learn about the land and water where we run.
The Run Host explains the route and names the fronty and sweeper. The group uses agreed regroup points. A finishing headcount confirms everyone is back.
Pace fit: the current road run is designed for people who can run most of about 6.5 km, with two planned regroup stops. It is not yet an organized run-walk group. If you prefer regular run-walk intervals, message us in advance so we can discuss what volunteer support is available.
Three recent GPS recordings from the back of the herd followed the same loop. The range is why we call it about 6.5 km rather than promising an exact distance.
These are anonymized route observations, not pace targets. Your speed is not part of the test.
Thursday’s 5:30 p.m. run starts from the bottom parking lot at Odell Park. Distance and route depend on trail conditions, daylight and the group.
Trail shoes can help when the ground is wet, but specialized equipment is not a requirement for every outing. The event description on Strava will flag anything unusual.
