Join us for Ulnooweg’s
9th Annual Summer Solstice Run
We’re honoured to welcome the community back for the Ulnooweg Summer Solstice Run in 2026. This annual gathering brings people together to celebrate movement, community, and the beauty of life. This year’s run takes place on National Indigenous Peoples Day, making it an especially meaningful way to come together in celebration.

If you can’t join us in person, we also offer a virtual run option. Participate in the 2K, 5K, or 10K at any time during the month of June, in recognition of Indigenous History Month. Run in your own community, at your own pace, while still being part of the Summer Solstice Run.
The 5K and 10K races are part of the Nova Scotia Road Race Series, with the 5K designated as a Performance Series race. Both distances are Athletics Canada certified.

Virtual participants may choose to pick up their race kit or have it mailed. When you complete your run, track your time using your watch, phone app, or fitness tracker, then log your results in Race Roster to be included in event standings.
