Our packet pickup and bib pickup are basic. We encourage visitors to shop local and patronize Campobello and Lubec businesses. Local businesses are excited to have you in town and will have extended hours especially on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
This is a cross-border event. Runners registered for the marathon and half marathon must legally enter both Canada and the USA, and be checked-off on the lists held by both the Campobello and the Lubec border officials, prior to the race. We facilitate this process by having packet pickup in Lubec and bib pickup on Campobello Island.
Marathon and Half-Marathon Bib Pickup takes place on Campobello Island just 400m beyond the border station at the Adventure Centre - Directions here. Packet pickup takes place at Lubec School - Directions here.
A Valid Photo ID (includes your passport) is required to collect your race packet and bib number. You cannot pick up a bib for someone else and no-one else can pick up your bib for you. You must appear in person.
In order to alleviate congestion at the Border stations please leave family and friends who are not running, on one side or the other during this process.
