Mactaquac Trail Race

The Mactaquac Trail Race takes place at Mactaquac Provincial Park in Mactaquac, New Brunswick on October 4, 2026. The event offers two trail distances with a mix of single track and double track, multiple bridges, and two stream crossings. The course is not very hilly but is rarely flat; surfaces can be slippery and roots may be exposed.

Distances:

• 10K One loop
• 20K Two loops

There is no day-of registration; online registration closes on October 2. There are no refunds or deferrals, but a transfer period will open if the race sells out. Entry fees do not include shirts or medals; participants will receive event swag and there will be draw prizes after the race.

Water stations will be nearly cup-less, so participants must bring their own cup, bottle, or hydration bladder. Massages will be provided by massage therapy students from Eastern College. No official course map is published, but reconnaissance runs will be organized before the event and announced on the race Facebook page.
