Course and community impact
Courses run primarily on flat, groomed trails that loop through Island Lake Conservation Area in Orangeville. More than $532,000 has been donated to feed kids and families since 2014. One hundred percent of race fees support local food security initiatives, including food banks, school nutrition programs, and other food security efforts in Dufferin County. Organizers state a goal to increase support for local food programs in 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
