Cape Breton Highlands Trail Series - Salmon Run

The Cape Breton Highlands Trail Series - Salmon Run is a two-day trail running event held in Petit Étang, Nova Scotia, within the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Organized by Cape Breton Road Runners, the event features two races starting from the Cheticamp Campground. The first race, the Salmon Pools Trail, is a relatively flat, smooth 9 km out-and-back course.

The second race, the Acadian Trail, is a 9 km loop with over 350 meters of elevation gain, including some rocky and uneven riverbed sections. Participants can register for one or both races, with entry fees including a commemorative t-shirt and other perks. The event aims to become an annual celebration of the park’s diverse trails.
