Salomon Wascally Wabbit 2026

Salomon Wascally Wabbit 2026 takes place on Saturday 9 May 2026 at Folly Lake near Londonderry, Nova Scotia. Organized by Nova Scotia Trail Running, the event brings a short-and-long trail test to the region’s lakeside trails. The race base is at 84 Lafarge Lane, giving runners direct access to the shorelines and woods around Folly Lake.

​

The event is a single-day trail race offering two distances: a 31-kilometre option and a 62-kilometre option. Start times for each distance are to be confirmed by the organiser; the listing also includes volunteer roles for those who want to help run the day. Both distances run on marked trails around the Folly Lake area, making it easy for crews and spectators to find the start/finish area.

​

What sets Wascally Wabbit apart is its lakeside setting and local trail focus. The courses use woodland and lakeshore trails around Folly Lake, delivering a quieter, more local trail experience than larger destination ultras. Nova Scotia Trail Running’s involvement gives the event a community-minded feel, with volunteer opportunities that keep the race grassroots and accessible. The two-distance format suits runners stepping up to longer trail distances as well as those seeking a solid one-day off-road challenge.
