ECT 15

Join the East Coast Trail Ultramarathon on October 2, 2027, for an exhilarating taste of trail running excellence. The ECT 15 race kicks off at Memorial Park in Pouch Cove with check-in and bib pickup from 8:15 to 8:45 AM. Runners will gather early to acclimate to the scenic coastal setting before starting their journey along the East Coast Trail.
The route offers a mix of rugged terrain, rolling hills, and picturesque seaside vistas, challenging participants to navigate varied conditions with resilience. All runners must carry a cell phone and whistle for safety, as this is a "rain or shine" event where self-sufficiency is key. Drop bags are permitted at the finish line, allowing racers to change into fresh clothes after crossing the threshold.
For those intrigued by longer distances but seeking an introduction, consider signing up for the ECT 50 Sampler Season's Pass, which includes both the ECT 15 and a half marathon on October 10th. This event is supported by The East Coast Trail Association, The Outfitters, and Train 4 Trails, ensuring quality organization and community engagement.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Pouch Cove as you connect with fellow trail runners and celebrate your achievements at this inspiring race day.
