About Nasty Nuttby Killer 5K 2026
Nasty Nuttby Killer 5K is a compact road race with a serious climb, set on Nuttby Mountain in rural Nova Scotia. The event is built around a hard uphill effort rather than a fast PR day, with the course rising toward the windmills at the top.
It sits within the broader Run Nova Scotia road race series and draws runners who want a short distance with a big challenge. For runners who like hilly efforts, it offers a straightforward test: one hard 5K, lots of climbing, and a summit finish feel.
