The 10K takes place entirely within Lubec.<ref name="Cox">{{cite news|url=https://bangordailynews.com/2014/06/11/sports/bay-of-fundy-international-marathon-runners-to-flock-down-east/|title=Bay of Fundy International Marathon runners to flock Down East|last=Cox|first=Tim|date=June 11, 2014|work=[[Bangor Daily News]]|accessdate=15 June 2014}}</ref>

The race begins at [[West Quoddy Head Lighthouse]], which is the easternmost point in the United States. Runners cross the [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bridge]] connecting Maine to New Brunswick and run until they reach [[Head Harbour Lighthouse]] (East Quoddy Lighthouse), at which time the runners turn around and return to Lubec.<ref name="Cox"/>

The first marathon was run in 2013. It included over 500 registered runners and was held in June. The race provided significant economic benefits to the area. The 2014 edition featured fewer runners (286 total). The organizers attributed the decrease to the "Boston effect", whereby marathon runners chose other marathons to run in order to qualify for the [[2014 Boston Marathon]].<ref name="Cox"/>
