Fall into Adventure at the 2026 Mactaquac Trail Race! Experience the beauty of autumn as you navigate through the picturesque trails of Mactaquac Provincial Park on October 4, 2026. This year marks the ninth edition of this popular event, offering two distances to suit your pace and preference: a challenging 10K or an invigorating 20K. While the course is not heavily hilly, it promises a terrain that keeps you engaged with its twisty paths and natural obstacles. Cross over streams twice and traverse numerous bridges, all while being mindful of slippery spots and protruding roots—nature’s own trail challenges! Registration for this race is straightforward: online only through Race Roster until October 2 at 8 PM. Once the event sells out, a transfer period will open up; however, no refunds or deferrals are offered. The Mactaquac Trail Race maintains its laid-back charm with minimal amenities but ensures you receive swag and participate in exciting draw prizes. This year introduces an eco-friendly twist: there won't be any disposable cups at water stations—bring your own reusable cup, bottle, or hydration bladder to help preserve the environment. Massages will also debut as a new feature, provided by massage therapy students from Eastern College between 9 AM and noon on race day, adding another layer of comfort for participants. Curious about what awaits you? Join pre-race reconnaissance runs in the coming weeks and months. Details will be shared via Facebook to keep runners informed and excited for October’s adventure. Post-race festivities include food, drink, awards ceremonies, and generous draw prizes. Over the past eight years, everyone has received a prize, though no guarantees can be made this year as well. For those with young ones in tow, mark your calendars for Saturday, October 3, when kids have their own free run at the small parking lot next to Beaver Pond. On-site registration ensures you and your family are ready for fun! Embrace autumn’s beauty and challenge yourself on nature's trails—register now and prepare for an unforgettable race experience!
