The Johnny Miles 5k Road Race

The Johnny Miles 5k Road Race is a running event held in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia, Canada, organized by the Cape Breton Road Runners. The race starts at the Sydney Mines Fireman's Club and features a 5-kilometer course that includes a mix of paved roads and a short 200-meter dirt section due to construction. Runners follow a route through Elliot, Pitt, and Lamonds streets, with a water stop at the turnaround point.

Participants are encouraged to run against traffic on some stretches, with safety precautions in place. Unique prizes are awarded to the top three male and female finishers, and volunteers assist with course marshaling and water stops. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
