The Bay of Fundy International Marathon (BFIM) mission is to strengthen community collaboration, contribute to the local economy, and promote active and healthy lifestyles by hosting road race events in Lubec and Campobello. Our Charity Bib Program is one of the most direct ways to bring that mission to life, connecting runners with local organizations doing important work year-round in our communities.
Charity Bibs are available in limited quantity and provide an additional pathway into the Half Marathon (once general registration is full or nearing capacity). In exchange, participants commit to raising a minimum of $250 for one of our community beneficiaries selected by the BFIM committee. Race Roster makes it easy: after registering, you’ll set up and share a personal fundraising (pledge) page so friends and family can donate directly to your chosen cause. This page can be shared widely to reach your fundraising goals.
Canadian Registration - USA Registration
Your entry is conditional on meeting the fundraising minimum. If your $250 goal is not met by the fundraising deadline, your race entry will be forfeited and your bib will not be available for pickup.
