Itinerary:

5 Peaks presents one of the most unique backcountry trail experiences exposing many runners to terrain they never knew existed. The race courses in the Ontario Trail Running Series cover a range of technical single-track, hard-packed sand hills, rocky, uneven ground, hiking and multi-use trails.

Each race venue is located within approximately a one hour drive from the Greater Toronto Area, so here's your chance to get out of the city and into the country for an exhilarating Saturday morning experience. What better way to start your weekend?!
