Grit & Grind Trail Race: Dunrobin Edition
Grit & Grind takes place on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at Sheila McKee Park in Dunrobin. The event is a trail race that moves runners off pavement and into natural terrain.
The 5 km course is flat overall but includes roots, dirt, rocks and uneven sections that require attention. The route is clearly marked; final course maps are to be announced and may change.
A 2 km kids run is offered for children aged 5 to 12. The kids course is designed for young runners who can follow the course independently. If needed, a parent or guardian may run alongside.
Distances:
- 5 km trail race
- 2 km kids run for ages 5 to 12
Registration includes a commemorative Grit & Grind Trail Race medal unless choosing the Green Bib option, a personalized race bib, professional chip timing with results available, and snacks and beverages after the race. Optional add-ons include a technical race shirt and an iTab ribbon hanger. The Green Bib does not include a medal and directs a portion of the registration fee to the event charity partner.
For safety, headphones, hiking poles and strollers are not permitted on course. The event is not suitable for strollers or mobility devices. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
