Brent Kelly Memorial 5 miler, Saint John, NB. A fun local race on the perimeter dirt road at Irving Nature Park along Saints Rest Beach.
The Fredericton Marathon. road......kinda, I like the half marathon distance a little better, but both are generally flat courses on bike paths for a good PR attempt.

Mont Sutton, QC. trail race, I have not done this one but heard it is great fun, quite technical and XTrail puts on a world class event. Draws a good number of fast runners.
Mont Orford, QC, trail race, I have done this one and it is phenomenal. (23k). It is quite challenging with good climbs, especially near the top and great views as well. Again, draws fast runners.

Maple Sugar Rush 2. This is a newish race as well for the Maritimes and also sounds like fun. With 6.2k and 12.4k options starting at a maple syrup farm how can you go wrong?
St. Andrew's Fathers Day road race. 5 miler. Another fun local race around scenic St. A.
Ultra Trail du Mont Albert June 24, 25 and 26th 2016.
This is looking like the premier eastern Canadian (or American) race. The International Skyrunning Federation has come to Canada in the Gaspe.
The scenery is Awesome with a capital AWE. Truthfully though, the organization could be better in terms of race results, website updates, course markings etc.
New this year (2015) a 15% off promo code for any event. Act fast cuz it closes Nov 30, 2015. "RD15"

Beat The Tide 5 miler trail / road Ministers Island, St. Andrews, NB. This race is unique in that it happens on an island. Racers and fans drive across the bar to the island at low tide, run the race, are part of the award ceremony and then drive off all before the tide rises! The trails and dirt roads of the island are well groomed here. The day after this race is a big triathlon in St. A
Brookvale Ultra Trail Marathon, Half and 10K, Sometime in early August. in Brookvale PEI. A really fun, windy and fast course on XC ski and mountain bike trails, and some dirt roads.
Not Yet Listed for 2016
