Once again, announcing the team list for the 2026 CTRR! (This is why we don’t multitask folks - it leads to typos😂) We had a record breaking 107 teams apply this year, and we wish to thank each and every team for continuing to show interest in our event year after year, it would not be the event it is today without all of you. Congrats to those who were selected, and happy training!

A wonderful establishment that has served as a finish line, start line, and snack stop for our runners for many years. Fuelling us with delicious lobster and crab sandwiches and always dealing with the craziness we bring with a smile, we will sure miss having these folks as part of our event going forward.

The Wreck Cove General Store won’t reopen.

Here’s the full details:

Well folks, unfortunately the time has come for us to call it a day.

We will not be reopening The Wreck Cove General Store.

Due to ongoing and increasingly complex health issues, Jenn and I need to focus on our health and well-being.

Jenn and I would like to thank everyone who has walked in our door to support us these last 12 years but we want to especially thank our amazing staff we have had over the years.

We will be continuing with our cottages and other ventures, but the building and recently completed environmentally remediated land will be going up for sale.

If you know of anyone looking for a residential home with a blank slate commercial space, in a great location, stay tuned for the listing in the near future.

With warm regards,

Brent and Jenn
