5K Tartan Run
Annual 5K Tartan Run
Grab your plaid and join us for a fun 5k route as part of the annual Moncton Highland Games.
A great way to test your personal best OR to grab the Clan and begin the day with a casual walk together. All ages welcome.
Your race fee includes entry to the Games & a made-in-New Brunswick pewter medal for all finishers.
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 joined us for a demonstration event in 2025,
in advance of their upcoming competition (which we've previously hosted).
