Indoor 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 like KVHS Hockey and Saint John Vito’s U18 hockey games. These generally occur on Tuesday evenings, closing the walking track at 5 pm, and Friday evenings with the track closing at 6 pm.

KV Walkers organizes volunteer-led seasonal walking events exploring existing trails and popular routes in the beautiful Kennebecasis Valley. Walkers of all levels are encouraged to join our walks, learn new trails, and meet other walkers.
