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!
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:
A TRAIL RACE & AN ADVENTURE
We are very excited to be offering a unique trail race that is unlike any of our other events. Here are a few of the features that makes this race extra cool:
-The 25km event (actually about 27.5km) is also a point-to-point race that, although shorter, offers an incredible experience along some of the most incredible sections of the Toronto Bruce Trail. The 25km course will have an 8.5 hour cutoff. This is also a difficult course but, due to the 8.5 hour cutoff, it is manageable for runners with some trail running experience. Plan on being out at least 1 hour longer than your typical 25k race.
We will also be offering a 10km OUT-AND-BACK race. Participants will start at Kelso Conservation and run 5km (through Hilton Falls Conservation Area, across Sixth Line, and along the escarpment before turning around and heading back to Kelso Conservation Area. This will be a hilly and challenging 10km course.
In addition to a sweet finisher's medal, runners who complete the 50km event will also earn a Toronto Bruce Trail Club End-to-End patch. The 2024 medal pictured below (all photos are from Sue Sitki, our Race Photographer)
The entire course is run on the permanently marked Bruce Trail (all of it is on the white blazed main trail). Although we will have some great aid stations along the way, we will NOT be adding additional flagging to this course (except for the final 5km, which is being flagged for the 10km out-and-back course). Let us repeat that so that you know what you are signing up for- ONLY FINAL 5km OF THE COURSE WILL BE FLAGGED! You are going to get a true Bruce Trail adventure! You simply have to follow the white blazes the entire way. The blue blazes on the Bruce Trail indicate a side trail, which we WILL NOT be using for this event. The Bruce Trail is well marked and easy to follow. The Toronto Section of the Bruce Trail is very well maintained, heavily travelled, and very clearly marked.
-This is going to be a SMALL, grassroots, community event. We will have an absolute maximum of 200 participants total. Once the event is full, we will not be managing a waitlist.
Here is an image that helps to explain how to follow blazes:
Amongst other interesting features, this course will feature the following beautiful sites:
Cheltenham Badlands: These unique formations are actually just outside of the Toronto Section but this is where the race will start. These were formed at the base of an ancient sea over 450 million years ago.
Terra Cotta Conservation Area: In addition to some awesome trails, this conservation area boasts ponds, streams, and an important wetlands area. You will quickly find yourself in a trail runner's paradise and, since you will still be fresh, you will adore this part of the course.
Silver Creek Conservation Area: With over 1000 acres, this area has lush forests, great trails, and plenty of interesting rock formations. There are some tough trails in this section with lots of rocks, roots, and punchy climbs and descents. There is so much beauty surrounding you that you may be tempted to look around but keep those eyes on your feet - there are plenty of rocks and roots to trip you in this section.
Scotsdale Heritage Farm: Scotsdale Farm on the Niagara Escarpment is a 531 acre heritage farm bequeathed to Ontario Heritage Trust in 1982. The area includes heritage buildings and barns, rolling hay fields, ecologically sensitive forests, unique wetlands, and evidence of Indigenous settlements.
(The sections above will only be completed by the 50km participants. The sections below will be experienced by the 50km and 25km runners!)
Limehouse Conservation Area: The Limehouse Conservation Area includes dense, pristine forest and plays host to some of the area’s cultural heritage. Featuring twisting creeks and a small part of the famous Bruce Trail, the park preserves one of Ontario’s last old-growth forests. You can still find some remnants of the mill and old lime kilns, initially constructed in the 1840s. Perhaps the most unique section of this race course is found within the Limehouse Conservation Area where participants will find themselves WALKING through the "Hole in the Wall" and then climbing out on a wooden ladder. NO RUNNING THROUGH THIS SECTION (it is very short so take your time, look around, and take in the unique scenery around you).
Speyside Resource Management Area: Speyside's terrain is more rugged and seasonal weather regularly impacts large parts of this trail. During Spring, mud season can make some parts of the trail impassable however improvements have recently been made. The mature forest canopy provides a habitat for countless bird and animal species. Speyside is also known for its beautiful sprawls of wildflowers.
Dufferin Quarry Bridge: This bridge, which was completed in 1981 spans a large gap in the escarpment and can be seen from the highway over 3km away. This is a high bridge so if you are afraid of heights (like the Race Director is), don't look down!
Bruce Trail's First Blaze: participants will pass the location of the first blaze that was painted on the Bruce Trail in July of 1962 . Keep an eye out for the plaque!
As lifelong users of the Bruce Trail, we are please to help support them and we will be donating $20 from each registration directly to the Toronto Bruce Trail Club. As many of you know, the various clubs rely on these donations to help with their trail maintenance and improvements, which include building and repairing bridges, stairs, boardwalks, and stiles. The club also maintains the trail, removes fallen trees, and ensures that the trail is in excellent condition.
What does the race fee include:
-All participants will get race swag including a soft-spun t-shirt (and more!)
-Finishers will earn a finisher's medal.
-Race fee includes parking at Kelso Conservation Area
-Shuttle bus from Kelso Conservation Area (finish line) to the start line of the race (for 25k and 50k participants - 10k runners will complete an out-and-back course).
Runners will have the option to choose either a Unisex Shirt or a Women's Cut Shirt during the registration process. The title "Women's Cut" is the actual name of the cut. Any person is welcome to choose whichever option they wish. Please note, the women's cut shirts do tend to fit a bit small so you may want to size up.
50km Race Course:
The 50km race course is actually more like 51.8km. Participants will run the entirety of the Toronto Bruce Trail Club (50km) plus a little over a kilometre at the beginning and the end.
Part of what makes this course so incredible is the wide variety of terrain types on the course. Participants will experience lots of groomed trails where you can experience some magical running flow, challenging technical trails, rocks, roots, short sections of road, and plenty of short but punchy hills to climb and descend. There will be bridges, countless boardwalks, and stiles (small ladders to get over fences). The scenery will be beautiful and the course will be memorable. Did we mention rocks?
In our opinion, what makes this course challenging is not the elevation gain (about 800m for the 50km event) but rather the technical sections of the course, which will have even the most experienced trail runners walking through the most rocky sections.
Please keep in mind that participants will follow the permanently marked white blazes, which will be painted primarily on trees but also on rocks, and posts. The course is marked in a way that when you pass a blaze, you can usually see the next blaze. If you miss a blaze or can't see any blazes, don't travel more than 100m before backtracking. Please keep in mind that thousands of people follow these blazes successfully every year. If you go off course, it is usually because you are distracted or fatigued. A good rule of thumb is that the Bruce Trail marks where you SHOULD go and not where you SHOULDN'T go. By this we mean that unless you are clearly directed to turn, just stay on the trail that you are on and follow the white blazes. For the majority of the course, participants will find that there is only 1 trail to follow anyways.
We highly recommend buying and downloading the Bruce Trail app and/or downloading the following GPX file to your watch, if your watch has that capability. Here is a the data from the run that we did while mapping out the course in 2024:
FIRST BLAZE TRAIL RACE STRAVA DATA
25km Race Course:
The 25km race will actually be more like 27.5km and will start on Sixth Line between Silver Creek Conservation Area and Limehouse Conservation Area. Participants will get to experience one of the most unique trail running experiences in Ontario as they pass through the magnificent "Hole in the Wall", which will have runners travelling through a cave and then up a ladder. This section has the potential to get a little congested so please be patient and enjoy the unbelievable scenery that surrounds you.
Runners will have the opportunity to run through the Speyside section, which is beautiful but has some very rocky and rooty sections. Those of you that are trying to run fast will likely not enjoy the rocky section very much and will be cursing the Happy Trails Team, but those of you who are there to enjoy the experience and take in the scenery with some really cool people and don't mind slowing down through this part will love Speyside!
Participants will get to enjoy a wide variety of terrain types including beautiful flowing single track, countless bridges and boardwalks over and around streams and creeks, very challenging technical rocky sections, and a long stretch along the edge of the Niagara escarpments from which participants will be able to see Toronto on a clear day.
Runners will also get to run across the very high quarry bridge and will pass the site of the first blaze that was painted on the Bruce Trail.
This really is a stunning course but is also quite challenging. It will likely take longer than you expect but we are pretty sure that you are going to love this adventure!
There will be 3 aid stations along the way.
10 km Race Course:
The 10km race course will start and end at Kelso Conservation Area. There is plenty of parking (included) available for all participants.
The route will have participants running the final 5km of the 25k and 50k courses, in reverse, and then turning around and running back to the finish line. Please note, like the 25k and 50k courses, this is not your typical 10k race. It is hilly and there are some technical sections to the course.
There will be one aid station on the 10km course.
Aid Stations: There will be aid stations approximately 8-12km apart. The aid stations will be stocked with your typical trail race food (pickles, PB and J, chips, cookies, and other sweet and salty snacks), water, pop, and an electrolyte drink.
Please note that 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.
We recommend carrying at least 1L of fluids for this race.
SCHEDULE:
7:55am - The 50km race bus will depart Kelso Conservation Area. Don't miss it! The bus ride will be great; you will get to hear the RD ramble on during the pre-race briefing, you will get to hang out with other trail runners while they still smell good and, if time permits, perhaps we will even sing some camp songs!

Age requirements: Participants must be 16 years old as of December 31, 2026 to run the race. The wave and age category you are in on race day is also based on your age as of December 31, 2026.

Deferred an entry from last year? You will receive a code which will cover your registration fee for 2026. This code does not cover fees for Triathlon Ontario, Race Roster or if you choose to get a race shirt this year. Only those athletes who had a confirmation by the race director in 2025 will receive a code for a deferred entry. If you did not show up on race day, and did not confirm with the race director you wanted to defer, you are not eligible for a free entry.
One-day Triathlon Ontario fee requirement. You will be charged for a one-day membership fee for Triathlon Ontario.
If you email [email protected] with proof of your 2026 Triathlon Ontario membership before your register, you will receive a promo code to remove the fee. If you send this information after registering (but before the race), this fee will be refunded.
Race t-shirts are available for a fee: If you want a race shirt, you will need to pay an additional $15 fee and choose your size. In order to ensure your shirt size, you must do this by April 30, 2026. Sizing may be limited after this date as we need to order shirts well in advance of the race.
Can't race anymore? While we understand that circumstances can change, we are unable to offer refunds or deferrals for your race entry. We begin planning for the race early, and costs for the race include all registrants. You are able to transfer your registration to a new participant for a fee and can initiate this transfer in your Race Roster account.

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! --- 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: --- PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE 2026 EVENT! THIS YEAR THE COURSE WILL BE RUN IN A COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION. We switch directions every year. That means that we will be running "downhill" on the rail trail this year. Personally, I find this direction more difficult but I seem to be in the minority as most people say that this direction is
easier. Come and join us at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area for Tally in the Valley, a race unlike any other in the area. --- Race Information: Participants will run a 7km loop through the unique Carolinian forest in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. The loop is primarily made up of groomed double track trails with rolling hills and approximately 130m of elevation gain per loop. Although there aren't any major climbs on this course, the constant rolling hills will wear you down in the later stages of the race. Check out the following video for a look at the course: Choose between running a single loop (7k), 3 loops (21k), 23 loops (100 miles), or run for 6/12/24 hours and see how many loops you can complete in the time provided. Runners who complete 23 loops (100 miles/161km) will earn themselves a custom belt buckle while all other participants will also be recognized for their hard work with a custom finishers medal. Looking for something a little different? Try "The Gong Show"!
This is an elimination style event, inspired by the Big's Backyard Ultra, that we are super stoked about. Participants will be given 1 hr to complete the 7km loop. Runners who successfully complete the loop within 1 hr (which may seem easy at first but will eventually become very challenging), will wait at the start line until the gong is hit, marking the time cut-off for the loop AND the start of the next loop. Please note: regardless of how fast participants complete their loop, they can't start their next loop until the gong is struck, which will be every hour on the hour. Participants remain in the event until they can no longer finish a loop within 1 hour OR until the race reaches 24 hours. If there is more than 1 runner to start the final loop after 23 hours, the first runner to complete the final loop will be the winner. However, ALL runners that make it to the 23 hour mark will receive a custom belt buckle since they will have run 100 miles. This race is awesome to watch as there is
quite a bit of strategy involved. Ideally, runners will want to run a comfortable pace and conserve energy but will also want to leave themselves some time to fuel-up at the aid station and have a short break before heading out for another loop. If you are planning on running the Gong Show Event, you might want to watch the following video for some tips: In the 6/12/24 hour races there are no DNF's (Did Not Finish). Each runner that starts the race will be recognized for the distance that they complete, regardless of when they stop. In the last 30 minutes before the completion of each timed event, we will have race volunteers stationed at different points on the course to mark how many kms into the loop the participants are when the time is up. --- Course Description: To view a course map, click here, but I wouldn't trust the elevation gain listed. Our watches consistently show 130-140m of gain per loop, not 59m as indicated on the map. Either way, it's runnable! Counter-Clockwise Loop
(THIS YEAR): There is a big change that will be happening this year (and likely from this point on). Every year, the race headquarters has been placed in the overflow parking field off of sawmill trail. However, the Conservation Area would like to regenerate this area and let the field grow naturally, which we think is great! This year, the race will start at the Trail Centre (right by the tap that our participants love). There are some real benefits to this change including the fact that we will have more space to set up and the area is flat, which will give our participants and their crews a level area for set-up. The biggest downside is that this area has always worked as an unofficial aid station where runners can fill up their bottles and cool off. BUT DON'T WORRY, we will set up an additional water station along the course. The loop will remain exactly the same, we will just be starting at a different point on the loop. Overall, we believe that it will make for a better experience for
everyone and we are excited about the change. The first 2km of the loop will be on the rail trail and will be slighlty downhill the entire way. This is a great spot to recover from the hills of the previous loop. If it is a sunny day, this section will be hot since there isn't a lot of shade. After exiting the rail trail, runners will run down a short but steep hill and will be at the lowest point of the course. The next 2.5km is mostly small rolling hills. Although it is entirely runnable, there is definitely more uphill than downhill in this section. The next 2-2.5km are the most challenging on the loop. This section is made up of rolling hills - no big hills but you will feel them! This will bring participants back to the Trail Centre, which is the where our Race HQ will be. --- Aid Stations: There will be one aid station on the course, which will be located at the start/finish area. Stock up in between loops. There will be water, an electrolyte drink, and all of your typical ultra
running fare including sweet and salty snacks, PB and J sandwiches, pickles, and chips. The menu will change as the day goes on. Last year there was grilled cheese, quesadillas and perogies. There will also be portable toilets located at the aid station. For those of you interested in running in the "Gong Show" elimination event, you can hang out at the aid station (start/finish area) after finishing the loop until the gong is hit, at which point you need to get moving if you want to make the next cut-off! The faster you finish your loop, the more time you have to rest and fuel-up. This year, we will be setting up a self-serve water station at approximately the halfway point of the loop. Please note that 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: Gong Show: No pacers in the Gong Show elimination event. 6 Hour: No pacers in the 6 hour. 12 Hour: Pacers are strongly discouraged in the 12 hour day
race, but allowed in the 12hr night race. Since the course is 7km, there will be a lot of participants out on the course. However, we don't ever want our participants to be in any danger so if you feel like you need one for safety reasons, by all means, go for it but only in the last 4 hours of the 12hr day event. If you feel like you will need a pacer for safety reasons before this, please message the race director before registering. Participants over the age 65 are welcome to have a pacer at any time. Pacers will have to pay the park admission fee at the gatehouse when they arrive on site. 24 Hour and 100 Miles: Pacers will be permitted, if necessary, at 9pm. Pacers can only join their runner at the start/finish area. Pacers cannot mule (carry anything for their runner). --- Race Swag: All participants will receive a really cool and buttery-soft t-shirt that you can wear around town to show everybody that you're a bad-ass. (Please note: t-shirt design is subject to change depending on
supplier availability). Runners will have the option to choose either a Unisex Shirt or a Women's Cut Shirt during the registration process. The title "Women's Cut" is the actual name of the cut. Any person is welcome to choose whichever option they wish. Please note, the women's cut shirts do tend to fit a bit small so you may want to size up. The following shirt was last year's design: The race shirt cut-off date is July 1. If you register after July 1, you probably will NOT receive a t-shirt. Participants in the 7k, 21k, 6hr, 12hr, and 24hr events will all receive a rad race medal (the 2023 medal, bib, and sticker are posted below), unless you run 100 miles, in which case, you will earn yourself a SWEET belt buckle! Participant in the Gong Show get NUTHIN' unless they run 100 miles or win the event. That's part of the fun! --- 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. We do this to give you the biggest bang for your buck and to try to enhance your experience the best that we can. --- 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. Also, please note that we don't have waitlists. If spots open up they will be available on Race Roster so check back occasionally. --- Race Reports: Check
