You will first do a short lap in downtown Wolfville, running past quaint cafes, pubs and shops, before heading west out of town toward the village of Greenwich. From there, you will then run past apple orchards, horse farms and pastoral scenery, through gently rolling, but mostly flat terrain, as you take in the splendour of the Valley during our Autumn Harvest.
