Features a 5km loop (2 loops for 10km) snowshoe run Touring Upper Canada Village and its Magical lights, this will be an experience that transports you back in time to the 1860s. A key part of the experience is the authentic buildings and a picture-perfect postcard setting! Having over million lights adorning the heritage buildings, trees and fences creating a one-of-a-kind magical backdrop for this 8th annual snowshoe race and its annual Alight at Night Festival. (Dec 1, 2023 to Jan 7, 2024…a true winter wonderland! But wait! the lights will be switched on one last time for this Magical race! Once you leave the outside area of the village you will require a reliable and fully charged headlamp/light to locate the single-track open field flagged course. This 5km loop is rather flat except for one hill that will be climbed 2 times for 5km runners and 4 times for the Dion points series 10km race.
