Don't Get Lost in the Woods - Walk or Run Race

SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

All skill levels welcome! Don't worry, you won't actually get lost (unless of course you don't follow the signs or you jump v-boards)!

The courses are set on the trails of the Wapiti Nordic XCountry Ski Centre - located in beautiful Grande Prairie, AB - South on Hwy 40 and Twp Rd 704A). Each course is set on dirt, sand, and forest trails and encompasses a combination of both challenging and rolling hills. The course is suitable for spikes or flats.

All distances are complete loops (meaning ... you do NOT run laps of the same loop except the 42K)! We are so lucky to have over 35km of trails so close to GP.

NEW THIS YEAR - We added a 42K distance for a full marathon .... AND We are running the course backwards ... which means

• 3K & 5K r un the Forest Trails
• 10K run the Forest Trails 5K followed by the very hilly lower 5K
• 21K run the flowy North trails to get warmed up for 11K then join the 10K on the Forest then Lower Trails
• 42K do the 21K course forward then backward - full disclosure we are still mapping and testing this ... but trust us it will be amazing!!!
