About the Event

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of Cape Breton with the Capes 100, Atlantic Canada's first-ever 100-mile trail running race. Set for August 6-8, 2027, this extraordinary event offers runners a choice between two challenging distances: an 86k route and a grueling 46k option.
The course winds through the breathtaking Mabou Highlands, where trails undulate across lush landscapes, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. As you traverse rugged terrain, you'll encounter stunning vistas, serene beaches, and crystal-clear streams that add to the race's allure. The natural beauty is complemented by a trail network designed to inspire runners with its technical challenges.
Participants will experience the wild charm of Cape Mabou and Foot Cape, immersing themselves in the rich history and striking scenery of this coastal region. Whether you're an experienced ultrarunner or looking for your first multi-day challenge, the Capes 100 promises a unique adventure that showcases some of Canada's most captivating wilderness.
