The annual slush run/walk is a 5 mile race which starts at 10 a.m. for runners and 9:30 for walkers(3 mile) . The fee is 10 dollars per person Registration starts at 9 a.m. The half way point of this race will find you turning around near the entrance to the Fortress of Louisbourg site. From here you can trek back to the finish line.
The weather as well as the distance can be an obstacle to overcome in this race. It would probably be disappointing to the runners if the race did not have the added dimension of extreme weather. It's a challenge to the heartiest of runners. After the race you can warm up with a nice hot bowl of chili in the school auditorium.
