Goodbye clipboards. Goodbye guesswork. 👋

Race timing has come a long way — and Atlantic Chip is a big reason why our event runs as smoothly as it does.

From precise chip timing to our finish line arch, banners, and signage, they help bring a professional feel to our community race.

Huge thanks to our Silver Sponsor, Atlantic Chip for being such an important part of race day.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: THE CANTEEN ON PORTLAND

Before we announce today’s volunteer winner, we want to shine a light on one of our local supporters in Downtown Dartmouth — a restaurant you absolutely should know about if you haven’t already.

The Canteen on Portland is a beloved neighbourhood restaurant that’s been serving up chef-inspired seasonal lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch in the heart of downtown Dartmouth — just steps away from our race route.

Whether you’re grabbing a bite while picking up your race kit or heading out for a post-race meal with friends, The Canteen is the perfect place to fuel up or celebrate. Locals love their community-rooted approach, approachable menu, and warm, welcoming vibe.

VOLUNTEER PRIZE #2

Now back to our Volunteer Appreciation Series…

🎉 Congratulations, Marguerite Beaubien-MacLean! You’ve won a $100 gift certificate thanks to The Canteen’s support! 🙌 We will reach out via email to arrange for pick up/delivery of your gift certificate.

We’re so grateful to The Canteen for supporting local community events like ours and for helping us celebrate 120 years of the Dartmouth Natal Day Road Race.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Dartmouth Natal Day Road Race!

For nearly 120 years, this race has happened because our community shows up.

They hand out water.
They direct runners.
They cheer.
They keep race day safe.

Last year, over 100 volunteers made our 119th race possible — and we’re so grateful.

Over the next two weeks, we’ll be celebrating four of our 2025 volunteers with special appreciation prizes, thanks to our amazing local sponsors.

Stay tuned 👀
