Run Nova Scotia is the provincial body responsible for road running. We provide leadership and guidance for road runners and road race organizers in Nova Scotia.

We are a volunteer organization that is part of Sport Nova Scotia. RNS promotes road running through road race events in locations throughout the province for people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities from tots to grandparents, male and female. We also provide community outreach, lending our skills and knowledge to others to promote running as a way to be physically fit and healthy. Our common bond is a passion and interest in running and becoming or staying active.

Run Nova Scotia welcomes runners of every ability, from the provincial champions to recreational runners, casual joggers, and fitness buffs.

Run Nova Scotia’s mission is to promote health, fitness, and camaraderie to people of all ages and abilities through the sport of road running.

People just like you! The only requirement is that you are a runner and/or you wish to support road running in our province. The age range of our current membership is between 10 and 80+. Our gender split is in the vicinity of 40% female and 60% male.

Our members come from all over the province, Yarmouth to Sydney and all places in between and from every walk of life. Our yearly membership is in the range of 300 to 350. You’ll meet lots of great people at the runs and receptions. You’ll make new friends.
