The communities bordering the Bay of Fundy are thrilled to announce the Bay of Fundy International Marathon (BFIM) will return on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
Get ready for an awesome weekend packed with races that highlight the best of Downeast Maine and the Atlantic Maritimes. We’re super excited to bring you a marathon, half marathon, and 10k that not only showcase our beautiful surroundings but also bring our communities closer together.
Starting at the most easterly point in the USA, West Quoddy Lighthouse, the rolling USATF and Athletics Canada certfied Marathon course offers miles of water and harbor views. Crossing from the International border by way of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Bridge and Lubec Narrows, the course takes runners past the President’s summer home in Roosevelt Campobello International Park. Traversing stunning Campobello Island over to Head Harbor Light, the course then retraces its steps back across the bridge to finish along Water Street in the heart of Lubec.

Downeast Sunrise Trail Relay
2026-07-24 - 2026-07-25 | Washington Junction, Ellsworth, United States
Maine’s First & Only All-Night Relay!
July 24 & 25, 2026 • Twelfth Edition
The Down East Sunrise Trail Relay starts in Ellsworth, known as the Crossroads of Down East Maine, and finishes in Eastport, the Eastern Most City in the USA.
Teams of four to eight competitors will run thru the night and into the next day in individual relay legs ranging from just under 4-miles to just over 10-miles. The extremely scenic route is 102.7-miles total in length, with the first 85-miles taking place along the multi-use, rails-to-trails corridor connecting Washington Junction to Ayers Junction. The relay route continues on MAP206, a classic Maine off-road, back-woods ATV trail. The final miles follow the paved Sipayik Trail along the Pleasant Point, Passamquoddy waterfront, before joining scenic Route 190, and finishing along the seawall in historic Eastport!
