Sugarbush Shenanigans
Sugarbush Shenanigans is an ultra-marathon event held at the Sugarbush Vineyard in Hillier, Ontario. The event takes place on a 3 km loop that consists of a flat and non-technical course. Half of the route passes through a private wooded trail, while the other half traverses an open meadow and loops around the vineyard. Participants can choose to compete individually or as part of a relay team.
The event offers several duration-based options:
- 24-hour Solo
- 24-hour Relay (6 persons per team)
- 12-hour Solo (Day)
- 12-hour Solo (Night)
- 6-hour Solo
The 12-hour night race begins on Saturday evening, while other categories start on Saturday morning. Runners are not required to move continuously and may take breaks between loops. Timing is conducted manually at a designated timing tent, where participants must ensure each completed loop is recorded.
The venue is a fully operational vineyard, and participants should be aware that "bird bangers" (audio recordings of cannon fire) may be heard from neighboring properties. Tent-only camping is available on-site for runners and their support crews, though campers must provide their own water. An aid station provides water, snacks, and hot food including grilled cheese and perogies. This is a cupless event, requiring participants to bring their own hydration vessels.
Yoga sessions and stretching areas are provided on-site. Sustainable prizes are awarded to the top three male and female finishers in each category based on the number of loops completed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
