Run The Caves : October 4, 2026
Run The Caves is a trail and ultra running event held at Warsaw Caves Conservation Area in the Indian River valley near Warsaw, Ontario. The event is organized by Body and Mind Adventures (BAM) and raises awareness for the Canadian Mental Health Association; a portion of registration fees will be donated to CMHA.
The course uses mostly single track through mature forest and across limestone plains. Terrain features include soft forest floor, rocks and tree roots, some sandy beach sections, and short stretches of gravel road. Many sections are tree covered while some open lookouts provide valley views. The event is cup free and promotes green initiatives with cooperation from Otonabee Conservation Areas staff and volunteers.
Timing is by bib and chip. Prizes are awarded to the top male and female in each distance category and all participants receive hand made race medals. Merchandise will be available through registration and at the event, including head buffs, trucker hats, socks, and t shirts. Vegetarian chili and buns will be served after each race distance.
