Race Options

24‑Hour Solo

Run one 6.7 km loop every hour on the hour.
You must be in the start corral at the top of each hour to continue.
If more than one runner remains at the 24‑hour mark, you’ll run one final lap — fastest runner wins.

24‑Hour Relay (2 person)

Grab a partner and alternate loops.
Stay in as long as you can — perfect for experiencing the 24‑hour format without committing to full solo mileage.

24‑Hour Team (2 person)

Both teammates run solo loops, accumulating as many laps (called a "yard") as possible.
Your combined total loops determine your score.
If teams tie, the winner is decided by fastest combined lap times.

12-hour

Same rules and format as the 24-hour - a great way to experience this format and challenge yourself to pushing for a 50-miler.

6-hour

Same rules and format - a great way to introduce yourself to the backyard ultra.

Description

Spend 24 hours running loops through Albion Hills Conservation Area with fall colours as your backdrop.
Two 6.7 km loops are used in a washing‑machine pattern:

Round 1 (using the first loop) clockwise
Round 2 (using the first loop) counter‑clockwise
Round 3 (using the 2nd loop) Clockwise
Round 4 (using the 2nd loop) counter‑clockwise
…and repeat.
Every loop starts at the top of the hour.
Solo runners and relay partners must be back across the finish line and inside the corral before the next hour begins.

Your team’s score = total yards completed by both runners.
Example: one runner completes 5 yards, the other completes 15 → team total = 20.
Ties are broken by fastest cumulative lap times.

The Course

Two distinct 6.7 km loops, alternating directions each round.
Expect roughly 150 m of elevation per loop and a mix of:

single‑track
double‑track
roots
pine‑needle paths
hard‑packed dirt

Race Kit Pick up location and time

Race pick up can be done Friday from 5-8pm at the chalet or Saturday morning from 7:30 - 8:30am.

Only 45-60 minutes north of Toronto, Albion is an amazing park to which we are so lucky to have access..
Albion Hills Conservation Area
16500 Regional Rd 50, Caledon, ON L7E 3E7

You must enter off Hwy 50. Once you go through the gate house, about 500m you'll do a left towards the chalet.

Aid Stations and Support

There will be one aid station on course at the start/finish line. Food will vary throughout the day and night. We will have water and Skratch Labs in the coolers and hot food later in the day and night.

There will be no crew access or pacers allowed while out on your loop. You will have access to your crew at the start/finish area only.

We'll have music and chatter throughout the day, however, due to noise restrictions at night, we will need to be quieter.
