Course and additional activities
The 5k is described as a backcountry route with several hills that lead to the "coal mine climb" up a slate mound and past the Slickville sign that overlooks the town. The 2-mile walk follows a gentler route through town for the first half and returns to the finish on the Westmoreland Heritage Trail. After the run and walk, participants are offered a complimentary pancake breakfast with locally sourced maple syrup provided by Slickville Community Church and Maple Lodge. An awards ceremony will follow the event. The community celebration includes a car show, craft and food booths, children's activities, cow patty bingo, musical entertainment, and a fireworks display after dark.
