Grand Sand 15k
Grand Sand 15k is a trail race held on the beach and the Trans-Canada Trail at Lester Beach, and on the cross-country ski trails of Grand Beach Provincial Park. The event is organized locally and is acknowledged to take place on Treaty 1 Territory, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples and the homeland of the Metis Nation.
The race is scheduled for Sunday, July 26, 2026, and is capped at 100 participants. The official route will be confirmed close to the event and may change depending on water levels; the start and finish are located on the beach. Exact location details and parking instructions are provided to participants in the pre-race guide.
Registration periods run from early registration beginning April 12 through the regular window ending June 28, or until the participant cap is reached. Early registration fee is $60 and regular registration is $75; platform fees and taxes are added at checkout.
Entry includes access to the 15k route, first aid support, a Grand Sand patch, and post-race snacks. Refunds and deferrals are not permitted. Bib transfers to an unregistered participant are allowed only until registration closes. Participants who do not finish are responsible for returning to the finish area; volunteers will sweep the course but will not provide pick-up along the trail. Runners are responsible for carrying sufficient fluids, appropriate gear and first aid supplies and for assisting others in emergency situations.
