Remote and rural marathon, in one of America’s and Canada’s most quiet corners. The two beautiful places — Lubec, Maine and Campobello Island, New Brunswick, — share shorelines, clean air, cool temperatures in June and lighthouses that have guided the way for mariners for generations. Now comes the return of marathoners. BFIM, held annually from 2013 to 2019 was named as one of the 50 most loved and most talked about marathons in the USA (by Trip Advisor); a “bucket list” marathon – one “every Canadian runner should aim to do in their lifetime” (by Canadian Race Guide); and a “small town wonder” (by Runner’s World). BFIM is one of only three marathons to cross the international border between Canada and the USA.
Starting at the most easterly point in the USA, West Quoddy Lighthouse, the rolling Marathon course offers miles of water and harbor views. Crossing from the International border by way of the FDR Memorial Bridge and Lubec Narrows, the course takes runners past the FDR Summer Home in Roosevelt Campobello International Park. Traversing stunning Campobello Island over to Head Harbor Light, the course then retraces its steps back across the bridge to finish along Water Street in the heart of Lubec.
