Join us on March 2nd for a 5k and 10k winter trail race through the beautiful single and double track trails of Durham Regional Forest! With fun and flowing trails through a snow covered (possibly icy) environment, you are sure to enjoy being outdoors with friends.
SAFETY NOTES:
- Traction on your shoes will be mandatory should the trails be icy, so come prepared.
- Bring dry warm clothes with you to change into post race.
- There is no shelter, so ensure you have clothing to keep warm.
- We will have volunteers at the road crossing but still be aware when crossing over from the parking area to the park.
- No dogs, headphones or strollers allowed on course
LOCATION AND PARKING: Durham Regional Forest is located about 45 minutes NE of Toronto, near Uxbridge. There will be minimal parking within the park itself, so either get there really early or go to the parking at Lafarge, which will be across the road from the park on Concession Road 7.
