5K Tartan Run
Annual 5K Tartan Run
Grab your plaid and join us for a fun 5K fundraiser for the annual Greater Moncton Highland Games!
This is great way to test your personal best OR to grab the Clan and begin the day with a casual walk together. All ages welcome & all participants earn a made-in-NB pewter medal! (Please note: children joining their adults do not need to pay the registration fee but will still earn a medal.) The Tartan Run/Walk begins at 10am near the Food Trucks; the route takes you along the Riverfront trail system.
Thanks to the Running Room Moncton, Chateau Moncton, & Riverview Kegs & Legs for the race support!
Maritime Sword School
Singlestick has long been used to train for Broadsword and British Military Sabre use; it was even an Olympic event in 1904. Participants use a 36-inch long stick with leather basket to protect their hand – not unlike the Highland Baskethilt Broadsword.
Maritime Sword School (MSS) will join us for an on-site competition featuring several dozen competitors in four categories. Registration for this competition is done through MSS.
