The Lost Valley Trail Race 2025

<p>The Lost Valley Trail Race is a new point-to-point trail running event debuting in 2025 along the scenic Iroquoia Section of the Bruce Trail. Runners can choose between 10 km and 25 km distances, both finishing at the beautiful Dundas Valley Conservation Area. This event fosters a close-knit community atmosphere with limited registration to just 150 participants, offering a grassroots vibe that emphasizes camaraderie and connection with nature.</p>
