Experience the unique charm of The Herring Run, set to take place on Sunday, July 19, 2026. This trail running adventure offers two distinct race distances: an invigorating 11-kilometer loop and a more ambitious double loop covering 22 kilometers. The route weaves through the woods and along the rugged shore of Passamaquoddy Bay, offering breathtaking views and a challenge that will test your endurance. Low tide enthusiasts won't be disappointed as you have an opportunity to cross a significant cove, adding a dynamic element to your run. The course has undergone some adjustments this year due to property changes, making it slightly longer with more technical singletrack sections. Runners can expect 11.14 kilometers in total, featuring 306 meters of elevation gain and a notable increase in technical trails by about 25%. The paved road section has also expanded to approximately 475 meters from the previous 200 meters, adding an extra layer of complexity but not significantly impacting overall race times. Participants should anticipate a modestly longer duration for their run. For those aiming for the full challenge, the double loop offers a true test with its extended distance and increased technicality. The event maintains strict timing to ensure all participants finish by 3:00 PM, providing ample time to navigate through the course's unique terrain. Whether you're running solo or completing both loops, rest assured that the race organizers have set an attainable goal of finishing within three hours. Registration for this year’s Herring Run opens on February 1 at 6 AM, giving runners plenty of time to prepare and plan their strategies. Mark your calendars and join us in celebrating nature's beauty while pushing personal limits.
