AUS Exhibition Cross Country Meet

The AUS Exhibition Cross Country Meet returns to the picturesque Hennigar's Farm in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, set for Saturday, October 3, 2026. This annual gathering of collegiate athletes from across Atlantic University Sport (AUS) promises a day filled with competitive spirit and stunning natural beauty.
Nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery, the course at Hennigar's Farm challenges runners to navigate varied terrain that includes winding trails through wooded areas, wide-open fields, and gentle inclines. The race is designed not only for speed but also for endurance, as participants must adapt their pace over different types of ground.
Competitors can expect a vibrant atmosphere with enthusiastic supporters lining the course and adding energy at every turn. Spectators will have ample opportunities to cheer on runners along sections that pass close to viewing areas set up around the farm grounds. The event is not just about racing; it’s an opportunity for athletes from different institutions to come together, share experiences, and celebrate their achievements.
For those looking beyond the competition itself, Wolfville offers a charming backdrop with its quaint shops, local eateries serving fresh seafood and hearty fare, and nearby attractions like Acadia University. The day's events will culminate in post-race festivities where participants can relax, socialize, and enjoy refreshments while reflecting on their performance.
The AUS Exhibition Cross Country Meet is an integral part of the fall collegiate sports calendar, showcasing the talents of some of Canada’s top young runners as they compete against each other in a beautiful outdoor setting.
