Organiser's Description
Mactaquac Trail Race 2026
Are you ready to cross the stream?!Fall is awesome! Join us for the 9th edition of the Mactaquac Trail Race in beautiful Mactaquac Provincial Park, October 4, 2026.
There is a variety of trails, both single and double track. We have a 10K and a 20K, so you just pick the distance you like. Although the course is not very hilly, it is hardly ever flat. You will cross a stream twice and a number of bridges. It can be slippery and roots might be sticking out here and there, so always keep one eye on the trail!
RegistrationThere is NO registration on the day of the race! Online registration will go through Race Roster and will end on Thursday, October 2 by 8pm! There will NOT be a waiting list once the race is sold out, but as soon as the race is sold out a transfer period will open.
There will be NO refunds or deferrals, but a period for transfers will open up as soon as the race is sold out!
We try to keep this event low-key, so a low entry fee and no shirts or medals. Does that mean you will get nothing? Oh no! Far from it. You will get your swag and there will be lots of draw prizes!
Cup-lessIn an ongoing effort to be more environment friendly, we will again be (nearly) cup-less! That means that there will be NO cups at the water stations, so you will have to provide your own cup, bottle, bladder etc.
MassagesNew this year: massages will be provided by the massage therapy students of Eastern College from 9 to noon! Map of the courseThere is no map of the course, but there will be some reconnaissance runs of the course in the weeks/months prior to the race, so if you cannot wait to find out what you will experience in October, we suggest you join them. They will be announced on the race's Facebook page.
After the raceAfter the race there will be food and drink, awards and draw prizes. In the past 8 years everyone got a draw prize. We will do our best to get as many draw prizes as possible, but we cannot guarantee that everyone will get one.
Kids runOn Saturday October 3 a free Kids run will be held at the small parking lot next to the Beaver Pond (see instructions for how to get there). Registration will be on-site, not on-line!
