There is also a 3k run for the whole family to enjoy.

The runs go through several neighbourhoods, including Brock, Westsyde, Schubert drive and over the bridge to Pioneer Park.

Traffic will only be affected along Westsyde road where the roadway will be reduced in one direction to single lane.

The course is considered attractive to runners who want to make good personal times.
