About the race
The UpRiver Running Fall Races are a trail race series held in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with all courses starting and ending at Kinsmen Park (Trowbridge). The event offers multiple distances on mostly single-track trails through local areas such as Shuniah Mines, Cascades Conservation Area, Centennial Park and Trowbridge Park.
Distances:
- 10 km trail
- 25 km trail (one loop with two out-and-back sections, about 370 m climbing)
- 50 km trail (two laps of the 25 km course)
- 2.5 km Kids Trail Run
Races are chip timed. Participants receive a finisher medal; the first finisher in each age division for the 10 km, 25 km and 50 km events receives an award (age divisions: 39 & under, 40+ Masters, 50+ Grand Masters). The 50 km has a 9 hour overall cutoff with intermediate cut points at roughly 25 km, 31.2 km and 38.2 km. Aid stations are placed along the courses and include water, Tailwind mix and a range of foods and gels at specific stations. The event is cupless; participants should bring a reusable cup or bottle. Additional notes include a free shuttle to and from the Current River Community Centre, non-refundable entries, optional T-shirts and vegan burritos for extra fee, free vegan chili for participants, and a transfer window for race bibs through September 13.
