The Herring Run Trail Race

The Herring Run is a trail race held annually in Mascarene, New Brunswick, Canada, featuring 10K and 20K distances on a single 10 km loop course. The route includes mostly single and double track trails, two paved road crossings, inland ponds, and about 1 km along the rocky shore of Passamaquoddy Bay, including a low tide cove crossing. The event offers a challenging yet scenic experience with a supportive atmosphere, including a local organic luncheon and a kids' race. Limited to 115 racers, the race emphasizes safety with mandatory check-ins and cutoff times for the 20K. Free camping and community camaraderie enhance the event’s welcoming vibe.
