The "Race Through Time" will take place in the community of Louisbourg, (Cape Breton) Nova Scotia at the George D. Lewis School at 6:30 P.M. Louisbourg is the home of the famous Fortress of Louisbourg, National Historic Park.

-" This race course was the most scenic and forgiving course I have ever raced on. I would definitely do this race over and over again. Great work!!" (Joy Higgins, Halifax) 

Course Description:

This race will be like no other that you have experienced! Beginnning and ending in the modern community of Louisbourg, the eight mile course is a historic journey to the 18th century. The runners will proceed over a route carved by the French 279 years ago, dominated by gently rolling hills and gentle breezes blowing in from the harbour. The intial 2.5 miles sees the runner passing the historic Royal Battery and proceeding from a paved to a well-graded gravel road leading to the right and behind the fortress site. You will run through the streets of the "Old Town" and out through the Dauphin Gate. A causeway leads you from the Fortress and back onto the same paved road that predominated the intial stage of the race. Stay to the right - it is now approximately 3 miles to the finish line.

The race is measured using the Jones Counter method.
