The 2025 Herring Run 10/20k Trail Race

The Herring Run is a scenic trail race offering both 10 km and 20 km distances on a course of mostly single and double track trails, combined with two paved road crossings and striking views along Passamaquoddy Bay. Participants enjoy crossing a sizable cove at low tide and running past inland ponds on private land generously opened by owners for this event.
