COURSE

First loop is 25k out and 25k back on a paved bike path alongside the majestic Niagara Parkway. Second loop is 15k out and 15k back along the same course. Very scenic with several road crossings. Map for the 80k is the same as 50k route.

Niagara ultra 100km route map

This is a public trail. We will not have exclusive use of the trail. Keep an eye (or ear out) for cyclists and please respect other users of the trail

Cars – although the course is relatively traffic free, there are countless driveways and intersections, as well as a few locations where the trail actually crosses streets.

Please be careful, course marshals are not allowed to stop traffic for you so you will have to be on your best pedestrian behaviour and cross at your own risk

AID STATIONS

Every 5 k, bananas, pretzels, chips, cookies, coke, gingerale, water

TOILETS

Port-a-potties are at 5 km, 10 km, 15 km and 20 km aid stations.

Public toilets in Table Rock restaurant at 25 km (at the brink of the falls), and various other public/park locations

DROP BAGS

At 15 km aid station only (this is also the 35k & 65k aid station). Leave drop bags at marked
area inside Kinsmen Scout Hall during kit pickup.

Please mark them well so you know which is yours and please do not put valuable items in drop bags because we may not be able to get them back to the start/finish as quickly as you get back

iTAB

Personalize your medal with an iTAB. Collect your medal at the finish line and your iTAB will arrive in the post a few weeks later engraved with your Name and Finish Time. A great way to celebrate your achievement.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN

Preservation of our trails through the Bruce Trail Conservancy

Wheelchairs/Strollers/Dogs

Due to the nature of the paved trail and with runners/walkers traveling back and forth, we do not permit wheelchairs, strollers or dogs

Headphones

This course is not closed for our specific use so there will be pedestrians/cyclists on the paved trail. There are also several road crossings where marshals will be providing instructions to runners. For these reasons we suggest that runners/walkers do not use headphones.

Refund Policy

On race day public health restrictions, as necessitated by Covid-19 may not allow in-person racing. As the organizers have to commit to the purchase of shirts & medals well in advance of race day, the race will proceed virtually.
