The Festival de Mollusques Race begins and ends at the local wharf on Irving Boulevard in Bouctouche, New Brunswick. This event is part of Grand-Bouctouche’s Festival de Mollusques and is in its third year. Adults and youth can select a 10K run or a 5K walk/run. Children aged 12 and under have a 1K race before the longer events.
The routes follow roads and paths through the region and the local nature park. Grand-Bouctouche is located on New Brunswick’s east coast, by the Atlantic. The morning is organized for varied participation, including walkers, youth, adults, and children, with separate race options for each. Following the races, a recognition ceremony takes place, and participants receive snacks and drinks on site. Stephanie Caissie is the event contact. Entry is limited, with capped spots for both the 5K and 10K.
