2024 Race Route
The Midland Butter Tart Festival is growing, adding more vendors which requires greater space. Unfortunately, this has resulted in an altered race course. Access through the downtown Midland harbour and roads has been fenced off, and there is no alternate path to continue on the Midland Rotary trail. However, the committee has come up with a plan to maintain the 21km with a 2-loop course. The race will begin through the historic Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, following the trail as in previous years. A new turnaround point will be established, just beyond the 10km runner's turnaround. After one kilometer from the start line, you will be directed to a new route and another turnaround. Your second loop will follow the same path as the other racers as in previous years.
