The Limberlost Challenge takes place on July 4, 2026 at the Limberlost Forest and Wildlife Reserve in Huntsville, Ontario. The event is held on a privately owned reserve with a variety of trail terrain and natural features.

The course runs alongside lakes, through a wetland with beaver dams, over steep inclines and across occasional creeks and muddy sections. Runners encounter technical trail sections that require nimble footwork as well as stretches that allow faster running.
