The Trillium Running Festival celebrates the Ontario running community that we know and love, where all people, all speeds, all terrains and all abilities are welcome. We invite you to the Trail Hub in Uxbridge, Ontario, for a running event on October 29. Nestled in the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Trail Hub gives mountain bikers, hikers, snowshoers & cross-country skiers access to over 240km of Durham Region’s trails.
In an effort to make strides towards a thriving and inclusive running community in Ontario, we have set out a 4-ish km course for our members (it is a trail run after all!) and come join us for one loop or see how many loops you can do in 2 hours or 4 hours. This is not a chip-timed event, so bring your shoes and your smiles. This will be an inclusive, fun, non-competitive, and low-cost event!
To round out the festivities, we will have:
An expo with some of our favourite vendors, including The Second Wedge Brewing Co. (beer available for purchase)
Prix Fixe Take-Out Lunch available for pre-purchase from the wonderful Annina’s Bakeshop and Cafe
Festival Loot Bag for pick up before your scheduled run
Raffle for amazing prizes, including Athletics Ontario swag and free race entries for 2023 Athletics Ontario sanctioned races
This is a not-for-profit event, with the proceeds going towards the Rotary Club of Uxbridge’s Tornado Relief Fund. On May 21, 2022, a tornado touched down in Uxbridge and caused immense damage to homes, businesses and trails in the area. The Rotary Club of Uxbridge is glad to be able to provide a central place to receive donations through the Rotary Club of Uxbridge Charitable Foundation.
