Prince Edward Island Marathon

Join us on Sunday, August 2nd, 2026, for the Bonshaw Trail Races! Experience the captivating beauty of Bonshaw Hills and Strathgartney Provincial Parks as you tackle rolling hills, dense forests, and picturesque trails in this thrilling race. Choose your own adventure with four epic distances: 5km (a great intro), 10km (a nice jaunt in the woods), 26km (just enough to question your life choices), or 52km (because who doesn’t love running two loops when one was already plenty?). Expect plenty of single-track trails, wooden bridges, and just enough pavement to remind you why trails are better. Lace up, embrace the adventure, and be part of an unforgettable trail running experience!

NEW: Canadian law now requires businesses/organizations/groups to include any mandatory fees in the price displayed. For this reason, the advertised price for all sub-events now INCLUDES the Race Roster fees.

Join us August 23, 2026, which happens to be just days after the five year Cancer-versary date of Michelle, My Journey to Just Live's, diagnosis with Stage 4 Incurable Cancer. Michelle was diagnosed in 2021 with an ultra rare Sarcoma cancer called Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma, EHE for short. Michelle has innumerable tumours throughout her body and has made it her mission to chase joy and Just Live!

She started running in January 2022, 5 months postpartum, and 4 months post diagnosis; she never had run before. Her goal was to set herself up for success, and was hopeful for the best possible outcome to tackle this bleak cancer diagnosis. Michelle has run in countless running events, even half marathons, including one in London, England raising funds for EHE UK Charity. Michelle, with the support of her husband Ty, challenged herself in 2024, and became a triathlete. You can see Michelle's latest documentary, "The Journey Home," where she completed a 126km personal triathlon and took us on a personal journey to redefine a day that a rare sarcoma cancer once stolen from her. Each year just gets better and better!

As we rally in support of those affected by EHE cancer, the Just Live Fun Run is an opportunity to meet your body where its at with a personal healthy living goal, choosing hard and chasing joy. With community and movement at the heart of this unique day, it is a time to step up, show support and celebrate together!
