Event overview
The Oxbow 15/50 is a trail running event on May 2, 2026 in Spruce Woods Provincial Park, Manitoba, using the Trans-Canada, Epinette and Yellowquill trails. The event offers two distances:
- 15k - one loop of the Yellowquill Trail
- 50k - a route including Epinette access, the Trans-Canada link and two Yellowquill loops
Registration opens January 25 and closes April 30, with a cap of 100 total registrants. Entry fees vary by registration period. Bib transfers are allowed until April 30.
Course, aid and logistics
The 50k route includes an initial run to Cabin 3, a passage to the Yellowquill Trailhead parking lot with aid access, a return to the start/finish, and a second Yellowquill loop. The 15k follows the Yellowquill loop once and finishes at the Epinette Trail Head. The course has a 10-hour time limit.
Timing will be manual and there will be no live tracking; results will be posted after the event. The race provides supported aid stations, a post-race meal, and an Oxbow 15/50 patch for participants. An Oxbow 50 finisher T-shirt is guaranteed only for participants who register before April 6. The event is cup-free at aid stations; runners should bring their own cup. Communication in the area is limited and emergency response could take hours.
