Course Description, Distances and Maps

The start/finish area is located in the Devon Lions Campground on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. A warm fire is roaring under the pavilion keeping runners toasty warm before the start of the race. The race starts with a grinding hill climb to the top of the ridge. From there you’ll descend through the single track to the bluff which overlooks the campground where you will get a peek of the start/finish area. The course finishes with 2 kilometers of hard packed trail along the river where you will be treated to beautiful autumn colors.
The sport course completes the loop once, the enduro course twice, and the grit runners complete the loop three times.

The Devon 3 km Kids Challenge race is a real treat. The kids are treated to a hill climb to the top of the new River Valley Alliance Trail. They then turn around and have the enjoyment of running downhill into the finish line.

Located just 30 minutes south of Edmonton, the Town of Devon, is home to fantastic river valley trails - both single track and hard pack, and beautiful autumn river valley colors. Runners, hikers, cyclists, and campers all enjoy Devon’s river valley.

Race Distances and Maps:

This Devon course kicks off with a grinding hill climb. From there, you’ll run single track into the valley and make your way around the golf course and finish off with a fast-and-flat section along the river.
