THIS IS FOR THE 2026 RACE!
We are proud to announce that this event is sanctioned by Athletics Ontario.
We are thrilled to announce that we are partnering with La Sportiva for all of our events
this year. Not only will La Sportiva be at our races with their demo fleet of shoes to try but they will also be giving away 2 pairs of shoes at every event!
We are also now working with a new, LOCAL, nutrition company called THN Labs. They are generously providing each runner with gels in their race kit as well as gels available at our aid stations. The gels contain only 4 ingredients: maple syrup, tahini, sea salt, and rowanberry extract. For more information on the product, click on their logo below:
Lost Valley Trail Race: A point-to-point trail race that takes runners on an adventure from Burlington to Dundas along the Iroquoia Section of the iconic Bruce Trail.
There are two options to choose from: 10k and 25k. Both courses will be point-to-point events meaning that there are no loops and the starting point and ending points are in two different locations. Participants will board a bus that will take them from the finish line, where participants will park, to the starting line, or they can arrange to be dropped off at the race start.
Please park at Dundas Valley Conservation Area, which is where both races will finish.
Both events will be run along the Main Trail of the Bruce Trail, which is permanently marked with white blazes. Participants must be able to follow trail blazes.
The only sections that will have additional markings are the first 250m, the last 250m, and the 2.5km section that runs along the streets of Dundas.
PLEASE NOTE: In 2026 we will be limiting the registration to 180 participants. Our intention is keep this race as a community event with a grassroots vibe.
The 25km Race:
Participants will park at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area (parking fees are included in the race registration fee) and board a bus that will take them to Cityview Park in Burlington (or arrange your own transportation).
Click on the following link to view the GPX file of the 25km course:
25km Course GPX File
The race will start at Cityview Park in Burlington. Participants will follow the rolling single track along the Niagara Escarpment and through the very popular Smokey Hollow area. Participants will run along Grindstone Creek and will encounter some steep climbs as they make there way over to the Black Woods area.
Runners will pass through a very rocky section before running through a tunnel under Hwy 6, followed by a short but steep climb up the escarpment. Runners will continue along the edge of the escarpment for a while and will be rewarded with some magnificent views. After passing Borer's Falls, runners will eventually start to make their way down the escarpment on a steep descent next to Sydenham Hill in Dundas.
At the base of Sydenham Hill, runners will have approximately 2.5km of road. Although this section is still part of the main trail of the Bruce Trail, we will have additional marking flags here.
Runners will jump back onto some absolutely glorious single-track next to the Dundas Golf Course and will emerge on the McCormack Trail. After a couple climbs and descents, they will then cross Governors Road, where they will have a couple of short but steep climbs as they approach the end. Runners will complete one lap around the Stacey Meadow Pond before ending their journey at the Stacey Meadow Pavilion.
Although there will be lots of climbing on the route, the race is definitely on a net downhill course. There is approximately 600m of elevation gain and 720m of elevation loss.
The 10km Race:
Participants will park at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area (parking fees are included in the race registration fee) and board a bus that will take them to the Rock Chapel Conservation Area in Dundas (or arrange your own transportation)
Click on the following link to view the GPX file of the 10km course:
10km Course GPX File
The first 2km of the race are quite beautiful with some great views. This section is relatively flat and is one of the easiest section of the course (other than the road section, of course). It is a great opportunity to find your groove and chat with fellow participants before starting the descent down the escarpment.
At the base of Sydenham Hill, runners will have approximately 2.5km of road. Although this section is still part of the main trail of the Bruce Trail, we will have additional marking flags here.
Runners will jump back onto some absolutely glorious single-track next to the Dundas Golf Course and will emerge on the McCormack Trail. After a couple climbs and descents, they will then cross Governors Road, where they will have a couple of short but steep climbs as they approach the end. Runners will complete one lap around the Stacey Meadow Pond before ending their journey at the Stacey Meadow Pavilion.
This race is 75% trail and 25% road. Although there are some climbs along the way, this course is a net downhill course with approximately 185m of elevation gain and 265m of elevation loss. However, you should keep in mind that the biggest descent of the course also takes place on one of the most technical sections and it will NOT be a place to try to make up time. It will be a slow descent!
Race Swag:
Here are all of the things that are included in your race fee:
-Bus ride from the finish line at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area to the start line of each race distance.
-A pair of Happy Trails Racing Socks (perfect for after the race!)
-Neck Gator
-Sticker
-Parking at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area
-Teeny Tiny Custom Race Bib
-Aid Stations along the course
-A really cool finisher's medal
-$10 from each registration will go directly to the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club
Location:
The Dundas Valley Conservation Area is the perfect ending point for an event like this. They offer some great services and spectators will have plenty to do while they wait for friends/family to finish. Have a look around inside the Trail Centre or enjoy the trails by going on a hike. This will be a real community event and will be fun for the entire family!
The Race Registration Fee includes entrance into the Conservation Area for the participants. All crew and spectators will be asked to pay a reasonable entrance fee at the park entrance gate.
Aid Stations:
There will be 3 aid stations along the 25km course and 1 aid station on the 10km course. The aid stations will be at 7.5km, 15km, and 20km along the 25km course and around the 5km point on the 10km course. The aid stations will offer your typical ultra-running aid station goods. Sweet and salty snacks, water, electrolyte drink, PB and J, and more. If you have run a Happy Trails Racing event in the past, expect the same.
Please note all Happy Trails Racing events are cup-less so you will need to have a collapsible cup or bottle to fill at the aid stations.
Poles:
You are welcome to use poles for this race.
Post Race Food:
We understand that people have different dietary restrictions, needs, and preferences. Because of this, rather than include the cost of a post-race meal that you may or may not enjoy/ be able to eat, we do not include meals in our race registration fees.
There are a lot of really great places to eat in Dundas after the race.
Refund Policy:
Happy Trails Racing has a great policy regarding race refunds/transfers: register with confidence knowing that you can take advantage of our early bird pricing and, if you need to back out, you can do so up to 30 days before the race with a 100% race credit that can go towards any future Happy Trails event. It doesn't expire. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cancellations within 30 days of the race. However, participants are welcome to transfer their bib to someone else without any penalty. Please keep in mind that everything we need to order to have you at our race is done so at least 30 days out.

Immerse yourself in the high-octane energy of Toronto, a world-class metropolis where a passion for sports is built into the city’s DNA. From the roaring crowds at "Jurassic Park" to the iconic
silhouette of the CN Tower overlooking Lake Ontario, the "6ix" is a city that thrives on diversity, ambition, and a relentless competitive spirit. Whether you're exploring the historic Distillery District or the bustling streets of the Entertainment District, Toronto provides a premier, multicultural stage for athletes to unite and test their limits.
This high-intensity event features a gauntlet of 10 functional fitness zones and 5km of running. The action kicks off with the grueling DEKA FIT Ultra, where endurance specialists face a multi-lap test of pure willpower. The momentum continues as individual athletes hit the floor in the Age Group waves to battle the clock, followed by the heavy-duty challenge of the Ruck category. As the day progresses, the stakes rise with the high-speed Elite heats, finally culminating in a showcase of synergy and speed with the 2-Person Teams.

We are proud to announce that this event is sanctioned by Athletics Ontario. --- We are thrilled to announce that we are partnering with La Sportiva for our events this year. Not only will La
Sportiva be at our races with their demo fleet of shoes to try but they will also be giving away 2 pairs of shoes! --- PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE 2026 EVENT This race is in support of MedVents - an amazing team that provide First Aid services at all of our events. Course Description: Come join us for one of our most popular events: The Beav. Hilton Falls Conservation Area is known to have some of the best trails around. This course is primarily made up of fast, groomed trails with some short but tougher and more technical sections thrown into the mix. The weather has been drastically different each year that we have put on the event. The first year, we had snow. The second year we had a cold day with high winds. Who could forget year three when a beaver built a dam and flooded a portion of the course
(yes, seriously). In 2022, we had a gorgeous day with sun and 15 degrees. Who knows what this year will bring? PLEASE NOTE: The course leaves Hilton Conservation area and enters Halton Region property from approximately 8k through 16k of the 25k loop. We owe a huge "THANK YOU" to the wonderful people at Halton Region for allowing us to use their trails, specifically the Britton Tract and the Robertson Tract. This section is an important part of the course and adds variety as well as some of the fastest runnable sections of the route. All participants in the 25k and 50k races will be required to sign an additional waiver, which will be given to you at race kit pick-up. --- For a map of the 25k loop that we will be using, please click here. For a GPX of the 25k loop, please click on the following: 25km Course GPX File To watch a video slideshow of the race course, please click on the link below: The 10km race is an out and back that will have participants run on the groomed trails around the
reservoir and over to the waterfall. From the waterfall, runners will then get to experience a short section of rugged and highly technical terrain on the Bruce Trail before reaching the falls. At the falls, participants in the 10km race will descend a set of stairs to the base of the fall where they will pick up a small pin with the Beav Trail Race logo on it (to prove that they went all the way to the bottom of the stairs). From here runners turn around and head back to the finish line. The 25km race will start with the same route as the 10k but instead of turning around, runners will continue on the Beaver Dam Trail, which inspired the name of the race. The remainder of the "out section" of the course is a pleasant mixture of single track and double track with some additional technical sections for runners to overcome before heading back towards the finish line. The 50km race will be the same as the 25k course but will be run twice. The 50km course will have a 9hr cutoff. Those who plan
on taking more than 8hrs should bring a headlamp or flashlight, just in case. It gets dark early at this time of year and the sun sets quickly. The timing of this race makes it perfect for runners trying to squeeze in one more race for the season or for those who want to try a new distance. Aid Stations: Although subject to change based on our permit, the aid stations are planned as follows: 10k race: Drink and S'mores Aid Station at 5k (this aid station has drinks and s'mores only) 25k race: 5k (drink/s'mores station), 8k (full aid station), 17k (full aid station), 20k (drink station) 50k race: same as 25k race but run twice with an additional aid station at 25k (start/finish area) Runners can expect the usual ultra staples- water, electrolyte drink, PB & J, sweet and salty snacks. All Happy Trails Racing events are cup-less so you will need to have a collapsible cup or bottle to fill at the aid stations. Pacers: Sorry, pacers are not permitted in any of the events. If you feel that you
will need a pacer, for safety reasons, please contact the Race Director before registering. Participants over the age of 65 can have a pacer if they wish. Race Apparel, Medals, and Prizing: Stay warm after the race with a custom hoodie that is included in the registration for the 25k and 50k events. (Please note: hoodie design is subject to change depending on supplier availability). Participants in the 10km event will receive a t-shirt with an option to upgrade to a zip-up hoodie during registration. Apparel shown is from our 2018 event. The apparel is different every year. Finishers will receive a custom finisher's medal. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 in each race distance. Post Race Food: We understand that people have different dietary restrictions, needs, and preferences. Because of this, rather than include the cost of a post-race meal that you may or may not enjoy/ be able to eat, we do not include meals in our race registration fees. Refund Policy: Happy Trails Racing has a

Please keep in mind that everything we need to order to have you at our race is done so at least 30 days out. Also, please note that we don't have waitlists.

gels contain only 4 ingredients: maple syrup, tahini, sea salt, and rowanberry extract. For more information on the product, click on their logo below:
We are really excited to be offering this brand new event! It will be fun to participate in and equally fun to watch. This is a "last person standing" style event with a twist. This is our last event of the year- one last chance to get together and celebrate another year of putting one foot in front of the other.
This is a perfect race for our road running friends to get a glimpse of the trail running world. Although this isn't much of a "trail", I think we can agree that a big part of what makes our trail community so special is the people.
This event will only be offered in alternating years (opposite years to our "Leftovers Run" event). Like the Leftovers Run, this event is designed to be a grassroots, small, community-focused event. We are doing our very best to keep our operational costs low so that we can offer this event at a very budget-friendly price of only $39.00. Participants will receive a Happy Trails toque, a bib, and (as long as you complete at least 1 loop) a really cool finisher's medal.
RACE FORMAT:
As mentioned, this is a "last person standing" style event, which means that we will have 1 winner in each of the man/woman/non-binary categories. The race will take place on a 1 mile (1.61km) paved loop at Bayfront Park in Hamilton, ON. All participants will start the first loop at 9:00am and will be given 15 minutes to complete the first loop. Take your time and conserve your energy on these early loops because it is going to get a lot more challenging! Regardless of how quickly you finish the lap, YOU CAN'T START THE NEXT LAP UNTIL THE OFFICIAL STARTING TIME OF THE NEXT LAP (see schedule below).
At 9:15am, all participants who successfully completed the first loop will start their second loop. However, this time you will be given 14 minutes to complete the loop. Each subsequent loop will need to be completed a little bit faster than the last. We will start by reducing the lap time by 1 minute each lap. After 6 laps, we will start reducing the lap time by 30 seconds. After 12 laps, we will start reducing the lap time by 15 seconds until there is only 1 runner remaining. If no runners are able to complete the last lap in the allotted time, the first runner to complete the lap will be declared the winner!
COURSE MAP:
The 1.61km (1 mile) loop will take place only steps from the parking lot at Bayfront Park in Hamilton. The loop is wide, paved, and mostly flat.
AID STATION:
We will have a bare-bones aid station with water and Skratch Labs Electrolyte Drink.
For all of the road runners out there, you should be aware that like most trail races, all Happy Trails Racing events (including this one) are cup-less. You need to bring your own cup or bottle. This doesn't have to be fancy- you can literally write your name on a piece of tape, put it on plastic cup, and leave it on the aid station table. No glass cups please!
You will have access to a drop bag every mile so bring whatever you need. Don't forget to bring some warm clothes to change into so that you can watch the rest of the race in comfort! Your new Happy Trails Toque will come in handy. Feel free to bring a chair.
