Race Info
The Fiddlers 5K starts and finishes at the Victoria Park Armories in the North End of Sydney, Nova Scotia. The flat, paved out-and-back course follows the Sydney Esplanade along the south shore of the harbour, passing the Joan Harris Cruise Pavilion and Wentworth Park. Runners turn around at the Medical Arts Building at the 2.5 km mark and return to Victoria Park. It is the shortest of the four distances and runs on the same roads as the longer races.
