Wise Raven Trail Race
The Wise Raven Trail Race takes place on October 17, 2026 at Camp Heidelberg, Kressler Road, Waterloo, Ontario. The event is sanctioned by Athletics Ontario and is limited to 115 participants. Net proceeds in excess of expenses will be donated to Run-Walk-Roll for WRHNCC; this is the eleventh year of fundraising for that organization.
Runners complete repeated loops on a well marked forest trail. Each loop is a 2.5 km circuit with approximately 45 m of elevation gain. The surface is primarily fast, groomed trail with short technical sections featuring rocks and roots and several rolling hills. Participants should be prepared for variable October weather including rain or snow. There is space for drop bags near the aid station.
Timing is electronic, provided by Chiptime Results. The aid station supplies water, electrolytes, pop, candy, chips, pickles and sometimes additional items such as peanut butter and jam sandwiches and pie. This is a cup less event so participants must bring water bottle(s). Pacers are not permitted on course.
Awards include a finishers medal for all participants. Parking is available on site. Pets are not allowed on Camp Heidelberg property and alcohol is prohibited at all times. The event does not offer refunds; entrants may defer to the following year. Distance transfers are permitted with payment if moving to a longer distance; no refund is given when transferring to a shorter distance.
