The Tally in the Valley Trail Race takes place at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This event offers various race options including a 7 km loop through scenic Carolinian forest with rolling hills and about 130m elevation gain per loop. Participants can choose distances from a single 7 km loop to ultra challenges like 100 miles or timed 6, 12, and 24-hour races.
A unique "Gong Show" elimination event tests endurance with hourly cut-offs. The course alternates direction yearly, featuring a mix of groomed trails and rail trail sections. Aid stations provide hydration and snacks, and all finishers receive medals or belt buckles for 100-mile finishers.
The race supports SickKids Hospital and is sanctioned by Athletics Ontario. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
