Canada's Premier Trail Running Series!
Get off the road and experience the excitement of trail running. With regional series in BC, AB, and ON there are over 20 races to choose from. 5Peaks Trail Races take place at conservation areas, provincial parks, and backcountry retreats. Each events hosts a Sport course 4-6K and an Enduro course 10-15K, offering participants a variety of challenging terrain and distances.

A Midsummer Night's Run will be a magical evening of running staged on Toronto's East end trails and Lake Ontario.   The run will start before the sun sets and will be finished by the light of the moon.  Shakespeare's own words well describe this night as being "... swift as a shadow, short as any dream..."

A true "challenge of the champions," this legendary foot race pits approximately 80 of the world’s toughest athletes – runners, triathletes, adventure racers, and mountaineers – against one another and the elements. Covering 135 miles (217km) non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, CA in temperatures up to 130F (55 centigrade), it is the most demanding and extreme running race offered anywhere on the planet.
