About the event

Set against the backdrop of one of Canada's most picturesque fall landscapes, the Maple Leaf Trail Run offers runners an unforgettable experience on October 21, 2026. Nestled within a vibrant forest teeming with autumn colors and crisp air, this race features a challenging yet scenic course that winds through winding trails and over small hills. Participants will enjoy panoramic views of rolling greenery turning to fiery reds and golds as they navigate the varied terrain. The event is not just about racing; it's an opportunity for runners to connect with nature in its most stunning seasonal transformation.
As you make your way along the trail, you'll pass by serene lakes reflecting the vibrant foliage overhead and encounter historic wooden bridges that add a touch of rustic charm to the route. The race organizers have thoughtfully placed water stations at key intervals to keep participants hydrated during their run. Post-race festivities include live music performances, local food vendors offering autumn-inspired dishes, and an awards ceremony celebrating all finishers.
