The Chiggy Ultra

The Chiggy Ultra 2025 takes place on October 4, 2025, in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park, Advocate Harbour, Nova Scotia. The race offers multiple distance options: The One Loop (about 51 km with substantial vertical gain), Two Loops (~102 km) and Three Loops (~153 km), plus shorter routes such as To the Arch and Back (19 km), To the Bunkhouse and Back (30 km), and The Rockhammer (9 km). The course features coastal and interior trails, with rugged single-track, challenging climbs, and mud. The event touts the Maritimes’ most vertical gain—around 6,400 m—and a finishing Buckle for the three-loop option. Outdoor conditions aside, Cumberland County woods ban timing may postpone the race to 2026; transfers are allowed, but there are no refunds or deferrals.
