Weekend in Wentworth 2027

The Weekend in Wentworth returns for its seventh consecutive year, promising an unforgettable trail adventure at the picturesque Wentworth Provincial Park on June 12-13, 2027. This long-running race offers runners and walkers of all abilities a chance to experience the beauty and challenge of this coastal setting.
Participants can choose from three distinct options: a grueling up-to-24-hour endurance run starting at 9 AM on Saturday; an extended 32-hour event that challenges competitors to complete as many laps as possible, with special recognition for those who reach 100 miles or 200 kilometers; and a more accessible six-hour Sunday morning race. Each option offers the unique opportunity to explore Wentworth Provincial Park's diverse terrain over multiple loops.
The course itself is approximately 4.5 km long, featuring a mix of single-track trails, gravel paths, and short paved sections. Low technical difficulty and minimal elevation changes make it ideal for both newcomers and seasoned ultrarunners alike. Runners can complete as many laps as they wish without any time constraints per loop.
The event is themed around Hawaiian culture, encouraging participants to wear their favorite aloha shirts while enjoying the scenic beauty of Wentworth Provincial Park. Aid stations at the start/finish line provide essential supplies including water, electrolyte drinks, and basic nutrition items throughout the day and night. A BBQ lunch on Saturday evening is included in the race fee.
For those wishing to stay overnight before the event begins, free camping spots are available within the park. Race directors will be present Friday evening at 5 PM to assist with pre-registration until 7 PM and guide runners to suitable camp locations near the course route.
To ensure a smooth experience for all participants, it's recommended that anyone running into dusk wear reflective gear and headlamps. The event is also "cupless," meaning no disposable cups will be provided at aid stations—participants are encouraged to bring their own reusable containers or hydration systems to minimize waste.
A portion of the registration fee goes directly towards supporting the Wentworth Food Bank, adding a philanthropic element to this already enriching race experience. With its scenic setting and inclusive atmosphere, Weekend in Wentworth offers something for everyone seeking an unforgettable trail running adventure.
Participants are also invited to set up personal aid stations along their preferred route within the park boundaries, ensuring they have easy access to necessary supplies throughout the event duration.
