On 19 July 2026, the Nova Scotia Marathon celebrates its 55th edition in the Municipality of Barrington, located on the southwest shore of Nova Scotia—known as Canada’s Lobster Capital. Runners can choose from the full marathon, half marathon, 10 km and 6 km distances, all set on rural secondary paved roads with a mostly flat profile and ocean-breeze vistas. The full marathon is a certified Boston Marathon qualifying course, offering serious runners a chance to log a fast time in a beautiful coastal setting. The event features youth runs the day prior, extensive aid stations (every ~3 km for the full marathon), camping options (“Sea Me Camp”) on site, and a welcoming post-race reception. With a field that has sold out in previous years, early registration is recommended.
