🏅 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗦, 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗦 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗗
Two new records and two new courses stole the spotlight at the 𝟰𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗠𝗰𝗞𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻.
Despite Sunday’s downpour, marathoners, half marathoners, and 10K runners took on the city’s bridges, streets, and trails — while Saturday’s 5K participants and kids of all ages filled downtown Fredericton. In total, 𝟯,𝟲𝟳𝟭 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 were registered across the weekend.
Saturday’s Evisitnb 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝟱𝗞 delivered fireworks of its own. Forty elite athletes raced two loops of the downtown core, and 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗹:
• 𝗘𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘁 (Sweets Corner, NS) set a new women’s record in 16:30, smashing her own 17:27 mark from last year’s inaugural race.
• 𝗛𝘂𝗱𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗵𝗮𝘄 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 (Central Chebogue, NS) clocked a blistering 14:01, beating the previous 14:28 record set by Mike Tate (London, ON).
Nearly $𝟴,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 was awarded to the top four elite women and top four elite men, along with recognition for the two new course records. The EVisitNB Elite 5K remains the only race east of Quebec City included in the 2026 Athletics Canada Road Race Label program.
This year also introduced a new 10K course and relocated the Trites Orthodontics Youth Fun Run to Queen Street and Officers’ Square — bringing even more energy into the heart of downtown.
👀 Keep an eye out for registration details for May 2027.
A huge thank you to every participant, volunteer, sponsor/partner, and supporter who helped make the 48th annual Stewart McKelvey Fredericton Marathon
