The Field

The 2027 MWC is being held at the Hal Betts Sportsplex, approximately 15 minutes from the Greater Moncton International Airport. 


The grounds include six baseball fields that will be used for the event, overlooking the Petitcodiac River (also known as the Chocolate River because its muddy tidal colour), home to some of the highest tides in the world. 


There are nearly two dozen hotels in the downtown area, many within walking distance, along with numerous restaurants. (Hotel room blocks will be available starting in September 2027.) 


There will be food & drink vendors on site, as well as meals provided to athletes during competition times and at a closing banquet on Sunday, immediately following the competition end.

Make this your base for an epic East Coast adventure!

The Story Behind our Patch

Each Host Games designs their patch for the Masters World Championships.


In 2022, our patch incorporated the colours of the Moncton tartan, the city's skyline, and the iconic Pettitcodiac River with its world-famous Tidal Bore. Carole Goguen, of Creative Cat Design, retained some of her original elements to begin her 2027 design - including the lobster claws, a nod the World's Largest Lobster in neighbouring Shediac.

The 2027 MWC patch features the silhouette of an athlete on the ocean floor, holding a caber, against the backdrop of the Hopewell Rocks.

The Hopewell Rocks are geographical formations shaped by centuries of tides along New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy. The Rocks showcase strength and endurance, just as Masters athletes display power and grace while competing in events that have withstood the tests of time.


Don't forget to take your own photo (caber not supplied 😂) at the Hopewell Rocks, which is a roughly 40-minute drive from the Games site. A great photographic souvenir of your journey!

Cheer them on, wherever you are!
