Course Details
The courses traverse the Beaver Valley section of the Bruce Trail, renowned for its technical single-track paths, rocky footing, and steep elevation changes. Runners will encounter a mix of forested trails, open meadows, and rugged terrain, with several challenging climbs and descents. The marathon and half marathon routes both feature significant elevation gain, making them suitable for experienced trail runners seeking a demanding and scenic race. The trail surface is primarily natural, with roots, rocks, and occasional muddy sections, especially if recent rainfall has occurred. Participants should be prepared for a true trail running adventure with varied terrain and stunning natural features, including multiple waterfalls along the route.
