Map: Wasaga Beach

Race Format

With waist deep snow 2025 was an epic adventure for all who registered. Will 2026 be similar? Or will the race be like 2024 where those light of foot could surf over the crust? Only time will tell.

Our 2026 race will return to Wasaga but run in areas of the park that are new or have not been used for a few years.

The race format will be teams of 2 and competitors will have 2.5 hours to visit as many checkpoints as they can. Don't be late because the penalty can be steep.

Post race we will over a warm meal and snacks/drinks to help recover the lost calories.
