Area 8, ON - July 18th
Individual event registration prices below do not include swag. Swag can be purchased through Race Roster when you register.
Join us at Area 8 Conservation Area for a 5 Peaks Trail Running Adventure for all ages, abilities, and ambitions.
From the late-1950s to the mid-1990s, the area provided limestone as one of the largest aggregate producers in Canada. Today, the former quarry has been transformed into a beautiful natural area, nestled into the escarpment, with trails that run along the outside.
Sign up soon to secure your spot, sweet finisher swag, and save!
Please join our regional Facebook group to ask specific questions about this and other 5 Peaks events.
