Campobello Coastal Challenge - Campobello Island, NB
The Campobello Coastal Challenge takes place on Campobello Island and uses coastal trails in two parks: Roosevelt Campobello International Park and Herring Cove Provincial Park. The event is produced with Dutch Viking Events and a portion of registrations will be donated to the Campobello Island food bank.
Runners follow varied terrain including forested trails, rocky beaches, coastal cliffs, bog boardwalks and sections of old growth Acadian Forest. The route includes a 2.7 km beach stretch and offers views over Passamaquoddy Bay; sightings of bald eagles, seals, porpoises and whales are possible from the course.
Distances offered:
- 10 km loop sharing part of the 25 km route then inland into Herring Cove.
- 25 km loop across rocky outcrops, tidal bogs and old growth forest.
- 50 km double loop of the 25 km course.
Aid stations provide water, Skratch and an assortment of nutrition and are located at 8 km, 12.7 km and 19.3 km on the 25 km, with an aid station at about 5 km on the 10 km. Race kit pickup is available Friday evening at Herring Cove campground and Saturday morning at Roosevelt Campobello International Park near the start/finish area. The event does not supply disposable cups so participants must bring their own cup, bottle or hydration bladder. Washrooms and first aid are available at the start/finish area and along the course. Dogs and strollers are not allowed. There are no refunds or deferrals; a limited transfer period will open prior to the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
