Sulphur Springs Trail Race
2020 Race Cancelled
I regret to inform you that the 2020 edition of Sulphur Springs Trail Race has now been cancelled.
All registered runners will receive a refund in the next week to 10 days. Those that had opted for a deferral to 2021 will also be refunded as we can't commit to what 2021 will be at this point in time. Refunds will not include processing fees. I hope you understand.
I want to thank all of you for your support during this time as we had hoped that by the fall we could have the race.
I also want to acknowledge all our partners, volunteers and suppliers who have made it possible for your refund.
The Hamilton Conservation Authority (Dundas Valley, where we run) and FAB donations have been sent to them. Thank you for your donation. As they will not be receiving any further donations from the proceeds of the Race, I urge you to donate to them directly. The links are below.
