Earl Rowe Provincial Park
Alliston, Ontario
4th Annual Rainbow Trail Run
The Rainbow Trail Run consists of a 12K loop (approximate) around Earl Rowe Provincial Park.
It's mostly double wide, some grass, some dirt and a tiny bit of pavement (when crossing over park roads) and bridge crossings over Earl Rowe Lake. It's a relatively flat course with one short climb up to the Lookout (photo opp for sure!). Awesome course for those new to trail running!

THE COURSE
Our race is named after the trail we are using at Earl Rowe, called "Rainbow Run," which is named for the rainbow trout migration that occurs each Spring. But also, who doesn't love rainbows?
It's mostly double wide, some grass, some dirt and a tiny bit of pavement (when crossing over park roads) and bridge crossings over Earl Rowe Lake. It's a relatively flat course with one short climb up to the Lookout (photo opp for sure!). Awesome course for those new to trail running!
Your race fee covers entry into the Park for one vehicle so are able to bring family/friends along. Additional spectators coming in separate vehicles will be charged $15.50 per vehicle to enter.
1 loop is approximately 12K.
2 loops = 24K
4 loops = 48K
5 loops = 60K
The Park features many facilities that you can enjoy post-race such as swimming, canoeing and camping. Check out the camping options here.
(all distances are approximate - GPS measurements will vary from individual to individual)
AID STATIONS * CUP-FREE * DROP BAGS * CUTOFF * BBQ
AID STATIONS
We will have 2 aid stations on course - one at the Start/Finish line and one approximately half way through the 12K loop. Aid Stations will feature water, electrolytes, fruit, sweets and salty snacks. Should you have a dietary restriction or a favourite drink/snack, please feel free to supply your own.
WE ARE A CUP-FREE EVENT!
This is a CUP-FREE event! Please bring your own reusable cup or vessel to fill at aid stations.
DROP BAGS
The Start/Finish area will have ample space to allow for runners to leave a drop bag (at your own risk) that you can access after your first or later loops. We will set up a 10 x 10 tent specifically for this purpose close to the loop exit point. You are welcome to bring a shelter (no larger than 10' x 10' please) and we will direct you where to set it up.
CUTOFF
The cutoff time for the entire race is 8:00pm.
BBQ
We will fire up the bbq around 10:45 for finishers and will feature meat and non-meat options. Available to family/friends for small donation to our charitable partner, Procyon Wildlife.
