2026 Lunenburg 5km Road Race and Muffin Run

The 2026 Lunenburg 5km Road Race and Muffin Run takes place on Sunday, June 7 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. This community 5K gives runners and walkers a scenic tour through one of Canada’s most distinctive harbour towns, with a route that starts at the community centre and rolls through local streets before a downhill finish.

The Muffin Run is part race, part local tradition. Participants can expect a welcoming road-race atmosphere, Run Nova Scotia series energy, and the event’s signature post-race muffins and draw prizes after the finish.

The 5K route starts at the community centre and follows Lunenburg’s town streets, taking runners and walkers past harbour views, historic buildings, working fishing vessels, and Lunenburg Academy before returning for a downhill finish.
