Campobello Coastal Challenge
The Campobello Coastal Challenge takes place on Campobello Island, New Brunswick on August 22, 2026. The event is based at Roosevelt Campobello International Park and uses trails in both Roosevelt Campobello International Park and Herring Cove Provincial Park.
This event is organized in partnership with local park organizations and an event promoter. A portion of all registrations will be donated to the Campobello Island food bank.
The course moves between coastal and forest terrain. Runners follow forested trails, rocky beaches, coastal cliffs and bog boardwalks, and pass through areas of old growth Acadian Forest with views over Passamaquoddy Bay. Wildlife such as bald eagles, seals, porpoises and whales are possible to see from the route. Some sections use trails established on the island during its historic summer use.
Distances offered:
- 10 km loop
- 25 km loop
- 50 km double loop
The 25 km and 50 km routes start at the historic park core and include a 2.7 km beach section before returning to inland trails. The 10 km follows the larger loop for several kilometres then turns inland to join the final leg.
Aid stations are located at 8 km, 12.7 km and 19.3 km on the 25 km course, and at about 5 km on the 10 km course; water, Skratch and nutrition are available. Race kit pick up is available the evening before at Herring Cove campground and the morning of the event near the start area. The event is cup less so participants must bring their own cup, bottle or hydration system. Washrooms and first aid are available at the start area and along the course. There are no refunds or deferrals, no race day registrations, and dogs and strollers are not allowed. A kids run is held on Saturday at the same location and requires a parent or guardian waiver.
