The 50 mile course consists of a 5 km out & back at the start & then three 25 km loops. There is 12.5 hour time limit, but don’t pause too long at the aide stations or you may get caught by cougar. Runners must start their final loop by 3 pm. This race was the course for the 2004 & 2018 Canadian 50 mile Trail Championship. For those that the 100 km is just a bit too much you can trust us to deliver a hill of a course.
