Campobello Coastal Challenge

August 10 @ 8:00 am

Campobello Coastal Challenge:
Date: Saturday 10, August, 2024
Location: Campobello Island, NB

Description: One race, two parks! The Campobello Coastal Challenge offers participants the opportunity to experience the rugged beauty and scenic coastal trails of Campobello Island. Runners will encounter a variety of terrain including forested trails, rocky beaches, coastal cliffs, and bog boardwalks – all while soaking in stunning views of the Passamaquoddy Bay.

As runners make their way through some of the very same trails that President Franklin Roosevelt established during his summers on the island, they are sure to gain his same sense of appreciation for the breathtaking natural landscape that Campobello Island has to offer.

The 25 km and 50 km races begin at the historic core of Roosevelt Campobello International Park and wind their way across the rocky coastal outcrops and tidal bogs of the Roosevelt Campobello International Park. Runners will then cross over into Herring Cove Provincial Park where they will continue across a 1mile (1.6 km) stretch of beach before returning to the trails and enjoying a final leg through pristine old growth Acadian Forest and finishing back at the start line.

The 10 km race begins at the same start line and follows the 25 km loop route for several kilometers before spurring off inland and into Herring Cove Provincial Park where runners will then continue on the same final leg as the 25 km loop.

Runners will face a variety of challenging terrain but will be equally rewarded with pleasant coastal temperatures and spectacular coastal views; bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and whales are possible to see from the route.
