Bay of Fundy International Marathon (13.1M-26.2M) - Jun 21, 2026 | Welshpool, New Brunswick

Embark on an extraordinary running adventure at the Bay of Fundy International Marathon on June 21, 2026. This unique event invites runners to traverse two countries in a single race, offering a truly international experience from Lubec, Maine, USA, to Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada, with both races culminating in picturesque Lubec. Choose your challenge from the full 26.2-mile marathon or the scenic 13.1-mile half marathon.

Prepare for a course renowned for its breathtaking beauty and demanding elevation. The marathon route begins at the iconic West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, the easternmost point in the USA, and winds through dramatic coastal scenery, past lighthouses, and charming fishing villages. While no single climb exceeds 200 feet, the course features relentless rolling hills, accumulating approximately 2,400 feet of elevation gain for the marathoners, a challenge many runners describe as significant but rewarding. The half marathon also presents its own set of rolling hills and includes approximately 4.8 miles of dirt trail as it navigates Campobello Island before crossing the Franklin D. Roosevelt Bridge back into Maine. Aid stations are well-spaced, appearing approximately every two miles and supplying water and electrolytes, with a self-serve gel station for marathoners around mile 16.

Beyond the stunning Bay of Fundy vistas and the thrill of multiple border crossings without stopping (requiring pre-race passport clearance), the race is celebrated for its warm community spirit. Runners consistently praise the amazing volunteers and the incredible support from both American and Canadian communities, creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 72°F and lows around 52°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, providing a refreshing coastal climate for your unforgettable journey. Finishers can look forward to unique handmade awards, a vibrant post-race celebration, and the satisfaction of conquering a Boston Qualifier course hailed as a "bucket-list experience."
