Event overview
The Sarnia Sole Burner takes place on June 27, 2026 at 1086 Modeland Road, Sarnia, ON. The event uses a roughly 2.35 km loop at Suncor Park / Wawanosh Wetlands. The path is fully paved; the first half of each loop includes a few hills that rise to about 20 m per loop. One hundred percent of proceeds benefit a rotating charity; this year the beneficiary is Heaven's Wildlife Rescue.
