Earl Rowe Provincial Park
Alliston, Ontario
5th 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 and wanting to challenge themselves on their first ULTRA run.

THE COURSE
The race is named after the trail used 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 after a thunderstorm!
It's mostly double wide, some grass, some dirt, some rocks, some roots and a tiny bit of pavement (when crossing over park roads) and some 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 and those chasing a PR in an Ultra!
Your race fee covers entry into the Park for one vehicle so you are able to bring family/friends along. Additional spectators coming in separate vehicles will be charged a fee per vehicle to enter.
Half Loop = 6K - Route TBA
1 Loop =12K
2 Loops = 24K
4 Loops = 50K - 2K added on First Loop
5 Loops = 62K - 2K added on First Loop
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. 6K route TBA and 50/62K extra 2k not shown)
