Race Details
The UpRiver Running Fall Races hold a special place in our heart. This community event celebrates our love for the sport and unites participants from all walks of life with varying goals and experiences. The 10Km, 25Km, and 50Km distances offer something for everyone. Most of the course takes place on single track through some of our favourite trails in Thunder Bay. The 10Km runners complete a loop, while the 25Km runners complete a 12.5Km out to Cascades Conservation Area and back. For 2024, we have added a 2.5K Kids Trail Run, and we'll be making a change to the 50Km course. Details will be announced ASAP. The course will include elements of the previous course, in addition to newer sections.
All races will begin at the cabins in Centennial Park on Saturday, October 5th, 2024. Participants will receive a finisher medal and the top 3 from each category of each distance will receive an award. This page will provide all details for the event. Registration is on Ultrasignup.
THIS IS A CUPLESS RACE.
Please bring your own bottle/hydration vest, or consider picking up a reusable BPA free UpRiver Speed Cup.
The 10K event will be a single loop course that heads from the cabins into Shuniah Mines and back. The current route can be seen by clicking on the 10K course link below. The written course descriptions can be found here.
