Welcome to Loonie Loops, New Brunswick's first 24 hour trail race!
Whether you're a runner, a hiker, fast or slow - it does not matter. Everyone is welcome to join in on this trail party! As always, the male/female with the most laps will take the win, but this format is not just about that. It's 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 open Friday February 17, 2023 at 7:00am.
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.
