Choose your challenge on the rugged, beautiful trails of the Copeland Forest at Pick Your Poison Trail Run 2026 on Saturday, April 25, 2026. This not-for-profit ultra trail race, supporting mental health initiatives, dares you to pick your distance: a punishing 50K, a formidable 25K, or an intense 12.5K loop starting from The Heights Ski & Country Club near Barrie, Ontario. Each 12.5k loop serves up 343 meters of glute-busting elevation on 98% pure trail, with the famously unpredictable Canadian spring weather adding an extra layer of adventure.
Embrace the race's eco-conscious, cupless philosophy and train hard for the ultimate reward: the event's iconic, yearly-unique finisher socks, earned only by those who conquer their chosen distance. With all distances currently sold out, this event's popularity underscores its reputation as a premier, community-focused trail running experience where every grueling climb leads to scenic vistas and profound personal accomplishment.
