East Coast Beast Coast 2026

East Coast Beast Coast 2026 brings an 8K trail race to Rockwood Park in Saint John, with a route that makes the most of one of North America’s largest municipal parks. It’s a straightforward summer trail outing with a community feel and a kid-friendly option alongside the main race.

The event sits within the East Coast Games program, which gives it a bigger weekend backdrop while keeping the focus on an accessible off-road run. For runners looking for a shorter trail effort in the city, it’s a tidy fit with Trail races in Saint John and the broader Races in Saint John calendar.

The course is an 8K loop at Rockwood Park. It uses trail terrain in a large municipal park setting, with route materials available from the event page.
