Welcome to Loonie Loops, New Brunswick's first 24 hour trail race, in support of YMCA Strong Communities Fund!
**DEADLINE FOR SWAG WAS ON JULY 29TH, 2023. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE SWAG IF YOU REGISTER TODAY, BUT WE CAN MOST CERTAINLY GUARANTEE A HELLUVA GOOD TIME!**
Whether you're a runner, a hiker, fast or slow - it does not matter. Everyone is welcome to join in on this trail party! This style is not so much about who gets the most laps (although there will still be prizing), it's more about personal goals and pushing yourself beyond what you thought was capable. You decide when you want a break, you decide when it's over, and you decide what pace. With an aid station every 3kms, you are in full control of your destiny!
Registration Closes on August 11th, 2023
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!
Three fun options to choose from: 6hrs, 12hrs, and 24hrs.
The trail, which is entirely on private land, is a 3km loop around Ashburn Lake in Saint John, N.B. The loop has 90 meters (295ft) of climbing/descending per lap on moderately technical trail. Most of the climbing happens on one small hill that takes you up to a lookout and features a great view of Ashburn Lake and Loon Island. It is an absolute gem of a trail, one that is worthy of spending 24hrs on. See pricing options below.
The small stuff...
There are no refunds or deferrals for this event, however, a transfer period will open as soon as the race sells out.
