    Why race Run The Caves? To feel deeply connected – to yourself, fellow runners, and the Earth.

    Run The Caves Trail Race & Ultra takes place in Warsaw Caves Conservation Area, which is nestled in the Indian River valley. This beautiful wooded setting is located just 25 minutes outside of Peterborough.

    Warsaw Caves offers a range of recreational opportunities that the entire family can enjoy. Recreational facilities and services within the park include swimming, fishing, camping, day-use picnic sites, and of course, hiking trails. Twenty kilometers (20+ kms) of mostly single-track trails meander through forests and across open limestone plains. From any of the scenic lookouts, you can view the Indian River and valley. Along the Lookout Trail you’ll also see potholes, kettles, and hear the trickle of the disappearing river beneath the rocks.

    Help BAM make this another year of Run The Caves a safe, fun and successful one. Prizes for top male and female in each distance category. Hand-made race medals for all participants! And a few other surprises!

    New this year - merchandise for purchase as part of the Registration process (and again on race day, to commemorate your Run The Caves participation and further contribute to CMHA. Head buffs, trucker hats, socks, t-shirts and more.

    Following each race distance, winners will be announced, as well, my Vegetarian Chili and buns will return for the 3rd year to warm everyone up at the Finish Line!
