The Cabot Trail Relay Race is an annual 276.33 km (171.70 mi) relay race around Cape Breton's Cabot Trail.[1] The race takes place over 24 hours in 17 stages and features up to 70 teams and 1,200 runners.[2][3] The race begins and ends in Baddeck, Nova Scotia.[4] The annual event began in 1988, when just 6 teams participated.[5] Since its founding, over 27,000 runners have participated in the event.[6]

Format

The race takes place over approximately 24 hours, beginning on a Saturday morning and continuing to Sunday morning. The race is divided into 17 stages which are unequal both in distance and difficulty. Typically each leg is run by a different runner, but runners can run multiple legs. In 2010 ultramarathoner Mark Campbell attempted to run the entire relay solo, but fell ill and could not complete it.[7] The race begins at the Gaelic College monument outside of Baddeck and completes the Cabot Trail in a counter-clockwise direction, ending in front of the Baddeck Court House. Although some sections of the race are relatively flat, others ascend mountains including Cape Smokey, North Mountain, and MacKenzie Mountain—climbing as high as 460 meters.[8] Leg 9 of the race, which runs over North Mountain, is generally considered the most difficult leg of the race.[9][10]
