Fall Colours Run
The Fall Colours Run is a two-day running event in historic Cumberland Village with a range of race distances and community features. The start and finish area and the last kilometre of each race are at the Cumberland Heritage Museum, a site that depicts rural life from the 1920s and 1930s.
