Grit & Grind Trail Race: Dunrobin Edition
Grit & Grind takes place on Wednesday, July 28, 2027, at Sheila McKee Park in Dunrobin. The event offers a short trail race and a dedicated children’s run on the park trail system.
Distances
- 5K trail race
- 2K kids run
The course is flat overall but runs on natural terrain with roots, dirt, rocks, and uneven ground. Paths are generally wide and well defined; cones will mark key intersections and yellow marking tape will be used where extra guidance is needed. Course marshals will be stationed at select locations. The route narrows to single track toward the end of the course.
Included with registration are a commemorative medal unless the Green Bib option is chosen, a personalized race bib for entries completed before July 20, professional chip timing, and post‑race snacks and beverages. Optional add-ons include a technical race shirt and an iTab ribbon hanger. The Green Bib option does not include a medal and directs a portion of the fee to the event charity partner Camp Misquah.
Parking will be limited because of a nearby cycling event. Public parking is permitted in a small lot off Sixth Line Road and on the north side of adjacent roads; there is no parking at Sheila McKee Park, the YMCA lot, or the canoe and sailing club lots. Signs will notify motorists of the event.
For safety, the following are not permitted on course: headphones, hiking poles, and strollers. The event is not suitable for strollers or mobility devices. Race bib pickup is to be announced. Fees listed by category include taxes as noted on the event page. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
