Running Of The Steers 2026

Running Of The Steers is set for Sunday, July 12, 2026 at Aurora Inn in Kingston, Nova Scotia. The event pairs a family-friendly kids’ lineup with a main road-run option.

It’s a small community race day rather than a big-city start line, with the focus on an easygoing local atmosphere. For runners looking for a shorter summer event in the Annapolis Valley area, it fits neatly among Races in NS.

Running Of The Steers is based at Aurora Inn on Main Street in Kingston. Race morning starts with the Baby Bulls and Miniature Matadors kids events before the main road race at 9:40 AM, giving the day a compact community schedule from one local hub.
