Shipwright's Run

Experience the beauty of rural Prince Edward Island on one of the province's most scenic running routes. The Kensington Harvest Festival Race Day is an out and back route that follows the historic Confederation Trail, offering runners a peaceful and safe journey through rolling farmlands, wooded sections and wide-open landscapes.

Beginning just south of Kensington, the course heads south along the well-maintained crushed stone trail, with 95% of the route on a smooth, unpaved surface that's easy on the legs and ideal for runners seeking a comfortable, natural running experience. Gentle curves and long straightaways allow runners to settle into a steady rhythm while taking in panoramic views. The course is predominantly flat with gradual rolling sections, making it an excellent opportunity for first-time half marathoners chasing a personal milestone, as well as experienced runners looking to set a personal best! With minimal road crossings and virtually no vehicle traffic, runners can focus entirely on the challenge and the scenery.

Well stocked water stations are positioned throughout the course to keep runners well hydrated and energized, while enthusiastic volunteers and supporters provide encouragement along the way. as you approach the finish, the excitement builds, culminating in a memorable Harvest Festival celebration where friends, family and fellow runners gather to cheer everyone across the finish line.

Whether you're running your first race or adding another finish to your collection, the Kensington Harvest Festival Race Day offers the perfect blend of fast running, island hospitality, and breathtaking countryside!
