Lil Chiggy is described as a spring tune-up run to test winter training. The event takes place at Cape Chignecto Provincial Park in Advocate Harbour, Nova Scotia.

Course and Format

The race begins at the gate of Cape Chignecto Park. Participants race directly into Refugee Cove, collect a token from a volunteer, and then return to the start/finish line at the gate. The timing stops when a runner touches the gate and shows their collected token.
