Cape Breton Running Collective
Connecting Cape Breton through running, movement, community, and wellness.
Building a Stronger Running Community Together
The Cape Breton Running Collective is an evolving community initiative focused on bringing together the many races, run clubs, programs, events, and organizations happening across Cape Breton — while still allowing every group to maintain its own unique identity.
Whether you’re training for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PB, looking for a social run group, supporting youth athletics, exploring trail running, or simply hoping to meet others who love being active — the Collective aims to make Cape Breton’s running and endurance community more connected and accessible for everyone.

Help Us Build It
We know there are many amazing programs, events, clubs, and community initiatives happening across Cape Breton — and we want to help showcase them. If you know of a running group, endurance program, youth initiative, event, or community activity that should be included, we would love to hear from you as we continue building this resource together.
Get Involved
The Cape Breton Roadrunners has now been in existence for over 40 years. Based in CBRM, the club hosts regular training runs, and a race series with races in every month of the year. The club prides itself on being open to runners of all levels and all ages. We have had runners as young as 3 and as old as 80 run our races. We encourage you to join the club as it enters you in our yearly points series, and gives you discounted registration at many races. Hope to see you out there with us soon!
To promote and foster running, as a life long endeavour for people of all ages.
