Races

This is a backyard ultra. We will offer a 7km X-C course that needs to be completed every hour. At the start of every hour a legendary gong will be drummed. This will signal the start of a fresh hour and lap. Those who have not completed their lap unfortunately this will mark the end of the journey. This will allow athletes to continue to strive towards completing the race and course.

The 29th running of the Niagara Ultra Races. 50 km, Marathon, Half Marathon & 10 km foot race (on traffic-free asphalt footpath) following the Niagara River Parkway from Niagara-on-the-Lake past Fort George and on to Niagara Falls and back. In continuous sight of the Great Niagara River and turning around at the Falls, this fast course offers you the opportunity to run on a very scenic course steeped in Canadian and American history. This is will be an official event in the 2023 Ontario Ultra & Trail Race Series.

One lap, every hour on the hour, until there's only one finisher left. The fun starts Friday at 7pm, or take part in as-many-laps as you can 12hr & 6 hr options!

The Rules

1) Course

2024 will mark the 31th annual occurrence of the event which saw its inaugural race take place in 1993. The race has grown steadily since its inception and once again we will offer your choice of 12K, 26K, 50K, 50 mile, and of course, our signature event, the Haliburton Forest 100 Miler.

There is a certain primal beauty found along the trails at Haliburton Forest and the absolute best way to experience it is by foot as you run on the rugged trails. Heavily forested, hilly and filled with lakes and streams it represents nature at it's best.

This 6, 12, 24 hour ultra-marathon takes place at one of Prince Edward Counties longstanding wineries, Sugarbush Vineyard.

Sign up to run solo for 6, 12 or 24 hours, or register a relay team for the 24 hour and see how many kms you can rack up!

The Course:
This 3km(ish) loop is flat and non-technical, half through a private wooded trail and half though an open meadow and around the vineyard.

27.5K, 55K and 80K/50 Miler race in a combination of trail, dirt roads and almost no cliffs.
The course is about 70% road (mostly gravel) and 30% trail. Follow a route through the hills of Creemore across private trails and gravel roads with some great views! Enfield Timing will be out looking after us for chip timing on race day.
