The Bad Thing

The Bad Thing 2025 is a challenging point-to-point trail race held in Huron County, Ontario, along the scenic Maitland Trail. The event offers two distances: a 50K starting in Goderich and finishing at Auburn Riverside Retreat, and a 25K beginning near the halfway point of the 50K course. The race features highly technical single-track trails with some road and groomed sections, demanding experience and preparedness for tough, potentially muddy terrain.

Participants are bused from Auburn to the start, where race rules are reviewed. Post-race festivities include food, drinks, and swag. The event supports local charitable causes and emphasizes community involvement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
