Urban Trail Racing is kicking off the spring season in this beautiful protected wilderness area. We kick off from Maskwa Aquatics Club parking lot and head into this amazing wilderness area. Lots of single track, beautiful lakes, and a chance to find your way in this protected wilderness. Similar to last year we're bringing back Halifax Search and Rescue's Eco-Endurance Challenge (E2C). You may see some of the 24 hour contestants on the course.

This year the race is on Sunday again.
