• Course description: Fright at the Falls 5km festive Hallowe'en costume-themed fun run/walk showcases the namesake beauty of Grand Falls- the falls and gorge area the largest east of Niagara Falls where majority of the course is directly beside in multiple viewpoints. The start and finish will be at the Malabeam visitor information center. Participants will go across the Ron Turcotte bridge straight on Broadway Blvd. Turn right onto Victoria St to the bottom and a hard right onto the start of the Gorge Trail scenic route where there will be. Continue straight on the Gorge Trail, past the La Rochelle Centre and waterpark. At the entrance of the campground is the intersection overlap and descending into more elevation changes with stairs on the Gorge trail behind the campground. Participants will then ascend on the far side of the campground to go up onto Manse St where a small portion is parallel to Union Cemetery, a local historic place designation, appropriate for the tradition of Hallowe’en festivities honouring the departed souls. At the top of Manse St hill, turn left onto Church St for the reward of a breathtaking view of the Saint John River, turn around at the pylon backtrack down the Manse St hill and cemetery. The returning portion of the course meets up at the intersection point where participants will be over hallway and turning back towards the finish line backtracking on the gorgeous Gorge Trail, back past the zipline. Up the Victoria St hill, turn left onto Broadway Blvd, and to the finish line entrance at the Malabeam. Approximately 220m elevation gain makes this course a frightful challenge filled with spooky surprises along the route.
