Long Sault Trail Race & Ultra 2026

The Long Sault Trail Race & Ultra is an October trail running event held at Long Sault Conservation Area in Bowmanville, Ontario. The Durham Trail Runners club organizes this event, offering runners multiple distances on the same woodland trail system: a 2K kids fun run, 7K, 14K, 21K, and a six-hour timed race. The course consists of two 7 km all-trail loops. The 7K race is one loop. The Racoon 14K uses both loops, the Coyote 21K adds a third loop, and the Deer 6-Hour race involves alternating between the loops for timed laps. The 7K offers separate morning and afternoon starts, allowing participants to select a shorter race without a fixed start time. A single aid station is located at the start/finish area, meaning longer races return to this central point repeatedly. The event targets trail runners from Durham Region and surrounding areas, with the kids run and shorter loop options positioning it as a club event rather than a remote ultra expedition.
