2026 Valley Harvest Marathon

The 2026 Valley Harvest Marathon brings Thanksgiving weekend racing to Wolfville, Nova Scotia, with the Annapolis Valley as its backdrop. The event spans October 10-11, 2026, and includes a Saturday Youth Run plus Sunday road races from 5K up to 50K.

Based at the Acadia Athletics Complex, the race sits in the centre of a region known for orchards, vineyards, and open Valley roads. It’s a straightforward fall race setup with a local feel and a full spread of distances for runners at different stages of the season.

For runners comparing options in the province, it also fits neatly into the broader Races in Nova Scotia lineup.

All races are based at the Acadia Athletics Complex in Wolfville. The course uses road routes through Wolfville and the surrounding Annapolis Valley, with longer distances taking in the rolling Valley setting.

The Youth Run is held on Saturday afternoon, while the Sunday races follow staggered start times from 7:30 AM through 8:15 AM. The event uses the Acadia Athletics Complex as the race hub.
