About the race
The McIntosh 10km & 25km is a trail running event held on the McIntosh Run Singletrack trail system in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The 2026 edition adds a 25 km distance to the existing 10 km course, with the two distances sharing parts of the same route. The trails are primarily hard-surfaced granite singletrack with roots and rocks in places, and the course passes areas that were affected by an earlier forest fire, offering views of Halifax Harbour and Flat Lake.
Organizers describe a route with twists and turns through a network of well maintained community trails developed by the McIntosh Run Watershed Association. The 25 km race includes an aid station with water, Skratch, and other items near the 14 km mark. Prizing is planned for podium finishers in both distances and for winners in the over‑50 categories, male and female, and a number of door prizes will be awarded.
The event proceeds in most weather conditions; traction aids such as slip-on spikes or studded shoes are recommended if surfaces are slippery. The McIntosh Run Watershed Association has built over 27 km of singletrack since 2016 and is planning further expansion, including a Phase 2 that would add 16 km of new singletrack.
