About the race
The ECT 50 Ultra Marathon is a 50 km coastal trail race held in Pouch Cove, NL on October 23, 2027. The course follows sections of coastal terrain and is described by the organiser as technically challenging. Proceeds from the event are donated to the East Coast Trail Association. Race check in is located in Quidi Vidi, with organisers providing bus transport to the starting area in Pouch Cove.
Bibs and chip timing are used for results; bib pickup is arranged at The Outfitters in downtown St. John’s during the week before the race. Chip timing and bib operations are managed by the Paradise Running Club. Three staffed aid stations are on the course, offering water and electrolytes; runners should plan to carry their own containers as this is a cupless event.
Support is permitted only at designated aid stations. Runners are required to carry a cellphone and a whistle for safety, and are responsible for their own kit, nutrition, and clothing for varying weather. Drop bags can be left at check in for retrieval at a midcourse aid station and at the finish area. Cutoff times are set for aid stations along the route.
A GPX file and live results are provided by the organisers. A merchandise pre-order window is noted with a deadline of November 9th. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
