Louisbourg Slush Run & Walk
Some Characters from the first Slush Run in 1989 A record 78 Runners and 17 walkers competed in this year’s race Check out our Facebook page 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) at the George D. Lewis School. The fee is 10 dollars per person. 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 at the school. 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. For more information on the race please contact either Calvin Pitcher (maker of the chili) at (902-733-2678) thepitchers@seascape.ns.ca , or phone Cindy (Hynes)Trimm in Louisbourg at (902-733-2351) or Marion Bridge at (902-727-2778).
