Ontario's only WSER qualifier — 8 loops of Carolinian forest since 1992
Other trail races within 187 miles
Canada's oldest ultramarathon takes runners on eight 20K loops through the Dundas Valley Conservation Area, accumulating 4,160m of elevation gain on a mostly double-track Carolinian forest circuit. Natural springs, waterfalls, and old-growth hardwood canopy line the course as runners pass through the start/finish crew area after each loop. The final laps unfold after dark, with pacers joining from the 7th loop onward. As Ontario's only WSER qualifying race, sub-30-hour finishers earn a lottery ballot for the Western States Endurance Run, making this loop race punch well above its weight on the ultra calendar.
