Race Information
The Cape Chignecto Provincial Park is known for its beauty as well as its challenging vertical gain and single track technical trails. This event gives the runners the most vertical gain of any event in the Maritimes at 2200m per loop! People who experience Cape Chignecto Park will lovingly refer to it as Chiggy.
The Chiggy Ultra offers one, two, or three loops, with each loop at ~51km. The race also offers the Rockhammer 9K, a short but hilly fun run perfect for building confidence in runners new to the trails and/or friends and family waiting for their 1, 2, or 3 looper to finish. It has a little bit of everything: hills, technical terrain, two really fun downhill sections... and a few look offs for the views!
