The City of Saint John said in a press release that the two trails will add over 1.5 km of multi-purpose/all-season trails that can be used for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or mountain biking.

The Saint John Cycling Club and the City of Saint John are hosting the event.

The organizations say that those who come with their best Star Wars-themed costume will have the chance to win prizes.
