The event kicks off promptly at 10:00 am with a scenic route entirely on the sidewalk, ensuring safety for all runners and walkers.

Each registrant receives a $20 coupon from Aerobics First and a special treat. This event is designed for families and friends of all ages—dress up in your favorite holiday costumes and make the most out of this meaningful celebration. Whether you're running, walking, or rolling, everyone can enjoy themselves at their own pace. After crossing the finish line, warm up with some hot chocolate provided by Dilly Dally Café. Registration for the Snow Folk Shuffle closes on Friday, December 4th at 4:00 pm. Participants must be at least 12 years old to join in this fun-filled event. Prizes will be awarded for categories such as best photo, most festive group, fastest time, and best dressed pet. Don't forget to share your photos using the hashtag #snowfolkshuffle. Remember, while you're out enjoying Quinpool Road on foot or wheels, please adhere strictly to road rules by remaining on sidewalks only. No refunds are available for this event, but transfer options are provided if necessary. Proceeds from the Snow Folk Shuffle will directly benefit FEED Nova Scotia's mission to stock up on essential items and build capacity among their membership.
