Aquafina Walking Track at the qplex: Open Most Days

Walk your way to a healthier you one step at a time. The three-lane indoor walking track is an ideal place to meet your friends and enjoy a leisurely or brisk stroll around the arena. Walk around the track five times and you will have walked one kilometre. During inclement weather we strongly suggest bringing along a change of footwear for inside use. This will help protect you from slip and falls, and our track from outside dirt and salt being tracked in.

The Walking Track is open daily from 6:30 am to 10 pm unless posted otherwise. Please note: If a ticketed event is in progress, the walking track may be closed or a fee may be applicable.

Please click to see the current schedule.

Note: Traditionally the qplex walking track is closed during paid events, example KVHS Hockey and Major Midget Vito’s games. These generally occur on Tuesday evenings, closing the walking track at 5 pm, and Friday evenings with the track closing at 6 pm.

Quispamsis Seniors Club: Thursdays

KV Walkers: Thursdays

12 Weeks / 12 Walks is a volunteer–led summer walking program that explores existing trails and routes in the beautiful Kennebecasis Valley. If you are new to walking or you are just looking for inspiration to find some new routes, the KV Walkers invite you to bring a friend along and join them! Walkers of all levels are welcome. Beginner walkers will have a shortened and slower paced route this year from the longer one hour in duration walk. There are lots of opportunities to find a walk pace that meets your level and to progress during the summer. The KV Walkers meet Monday nights at 6:45 and Tuesday mornings at 9:30 at each of the scheduled locations. Sign on to our KV Walkers Facebook Page for weekly reminders and information. See you on the trails!
