A small, quaint late fall run on the Island of PEI. A beautifully supported point to point course, finishing you in downtown. Your family has many opportunities to cheer you on, even though the roads are closed. There are three challenging hills at the end, so don’t forget your hill training. The medal is so,so. Pressed for time to check out of our airbnb, we did not stop for the post race food. With the unpredictable weather, I’m not sure I would do this event again in Oct.
