Organiser's Description
The Herring Run is held on one 11 km loop, run once or twice depending on your gumption. The trail runs into the woods and along the rocky shore of Passamaquoddy Bay. (pass-uh-muh-kwoddy) "The pollock plenty place". You even get to cross a good size cove at low tide. Many private landowners have been gracious enough to open up their property for such shenanigans and so we are all grateful to them. This year we have a very different course due to some property shifts. It is more technical, has more vert and is longer. So yeah, Its an 1 1 k and 22k race now!
The 2021-2025 old course was 10.74k and 2 1 1 m of vert.
The new 2026 course is 1 1 .14k with 306m of vert.
There is about 25% more technical singletrack as well.
The paved road portion is about 475m long now instead of 200m.
So not a huge deal but figure on adding 5% more time to your race. If you are doing the 22k double loop, we are keeping the 1 .5 hr cutoff for the 1st lap to be sure racers get across the cove at low tide. Our goal is to have all racers finished in 3 hours whether they are running the 1 1 k or the 22k.2026 Herring Run route
