Monarch Ultra
The Monarch Ultra is an annual running event held in Peterborough, Ontario, featuring a scenic 10km race along the TransCanada and Rotary Trails beside the Otonabee River. Starting and finishing at Millennium Park, the course is relatively flat and fast, with a water station at the 5km turnaround. The event also includes a 1km Kids Fun Run for children under 14.
Participants enjoy chip timing, finisher medals, and post-race treats. The race is part of the Monarch Festival, a lively celebration with live music, local crafts, educational booths, and family-friendly activities focused on monarch butterfly conservation. The event supports Camp Kawartha and encourages monarch-themed costumes with prizes awarded. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
