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. The 50Km runners will complete that course twice and see other runners on the course along the way.
All races will begin at the cabins in Centennial Park on Saturday, October 7th, 2023. Participants will receive a finisher medal and the top 3 male and female from 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.

50K
The 50K event will be two out and backs of the 25K course. We wanted to make this race as much fun single track as possible. The course we have set is 80% fun single track. We also like the idea of seeing the leaders and also the camaraderie of an out and back style where you get the opportunity to encourage the other runners.
