About the race
The 2025 Cape Breton Fiddlers Marathon takes place in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on Cape Breton Island, with a flat, paved course along Victoria Park’s waterfront. The event offers multiple distances: a full marathon, a half marathon (Membertou Half Marathon), a 10k (AuCoin Renovation), a 5k (Keltic Kubota Emmazing 5k), and Glowing Hearth Kids Run. The course runs along Sydney’s downtown waterfront and is a Boston Marathon qualifying race.
Runners are joined by Cape Breton musicians along the route, adding a distinctive, festive atmosphere beside the region’s famous Giant Fiddle. An expo and kit pickup are at Victoria Park, and timing is by Atlantic Chip Sport Timing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
