UpRiver Running Fall Races

Most of the courses use single-track trails through areas such as the Shuniah Mines trails, Cascades Conservation Area, Centennial Park and Trowbridge Park trails. The 25 km is a revised single-loop course with two out-and-back sections and about 370 m of climbing. The 50 km consists of two 25 km loops and is described as a technical course with rolling terrain.
The event is chip timed and will be cupless, so participants should bring a reusable cup, bottle or hydration bladder. Aid stations and their supplies include: Balsam Aid Station: water, Tailwind drink mix, gummies. Cascades Aid Station: water, Tailwind, chips, fruit, coke, Precision Fuel gels and salt capsules. Kinsmen Aid Station: water, Tailwind, snacks, PB and J wraps, gels, coke and coffee.
Participants receive a finisher medal; the first finisher in each age division (39 and under, 40+ Masters, 50+ Grand Masters) in the 10 km, 25 km and 50 km events will receive awards. The Kids Trail Run also includes a finisher medal.
