L. N. from Fort Collins, CO (6/23/2016) "You couldn't ask for a better small marathon" (about: 2016) 6-10 previous marathons \| 1 Marathon Baie-des-Chaleurs COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 I ran this race to celebrate my 40th birthday, and the organizers actually congratulated me, having noticed my DOB, and the fact that I was the only person out of the 60-or-so participants of the full marathon not to be from the vicinity. The course was pretty, but not stunning. The only problem was sharing that stretch of road with cars. Organization was good for a small marathon. I never felt the impersonal feel of big-time races. The atmosphere was congenial and felt as much like a party as a race. Getting to the start was a piece of cake. Parking near the start line was easy and only a few hundred feet away. I never encountered a line to go into the toilets along the course! A+ there! Fans were few and far between, but they made up for it in enthusiasm. Altogether, this was a very good marathon experience.
R. A. from Dunlop, New Brunswick (7/12/2012) "nice small town marathon" (about: 2012) 3 previous marathons \| 1 Marathon Baie-des-Chaleurs COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 I ran the 2012 edition, which was the last one for Charlo after 20 years. It was a very nice flat race. But the winds were very strong in the second half. Beautifull scenary of the baie des chaleur.
D. D. from Moncton, NB, Canada (4/11/2008) "Great event in a scenic setting on the bay" (about: 2007) 1 previous marathon \| 1 Marathon Baie-des-Chaleurs COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 Note these comments refer to the HALF - not full marathon - of this event. This was my first half-marathon in almost 2 years (ran shorter events due to injury, etc.) and I was not disappointed. The event was small, with 85-100 runners in all events, but well organized anyway. Course was out-and-back format for half (2 loops for full) along the main streets of town. Traffic was sparse and respectful of runners. Traffic control was provided at the turnaround point. Not many spectators (it was Sunday morning in a small town) but those who turned out were very supportive. Highlights included a fantastic view of the bay (from all points of the course) and a fabulous selection of homemade cooking in the local community center post-race (hot/cold dishes, salads, breads and rolls, pies, cake... yum, yum!). No on-site showers but there was an agreement with a local campsite (~3KM away) to allow runners to shower and freshen up post-race. The town of Charlo is a bit out of the way (just off the highway between Dalhousie and Bathurst, NB) but well worth the trip for local hospitality, T-shirt, medal and great memories of a new PB - I'll be back in 2008!
G. C. from Rimouski, QC (3/14/2006) "Best-kept secret" (about: 2004) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Marathon Baie-des-Chaleurs COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Excellent and friendly organization, very scenic race course, few but very enthusiastic spectators, great pre-race pasta party and post-race dinner all cooked by the race organizers. All for only $40 Canadian.... I will return for sure!
