Loonie Loops

Loonie Loops is New Brunswick's first and only 24-hour trail race held at the YMCA Glenn Carpenter Centre in Saint John, NB. The event features a 3km loop trail around Ashburn Lake with 90 meters of elevation gain per lap, offering scenic views from a lookout over the lake and Loon Island. Participants can choose from 6-hour, 12-hour, or 24-hour race options, making it suitable for runners and hikers of all paces.

The race emphasizes personal goals and endurance over competition, with aid stations every 3km and a festive atmosphere including a BBQ party and live music. Camping is available for participants and crew, supporting the YMCA Strong Communities Fund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
