Sticks n' Stones Trail Race 2026

This trail race takes place at Christie Lake Conservation Area in Hamilton, ON, Canada. It offers various distances: 5k, 10k, 25k, and 50k (solo and relay options). The 50k race has an 8-hour cutoff. A beautiful looped course around the lake is used for all distances. The trail is primarily dirt and non-technical. Aid stations will provide water, electrolyte drinks, and snacks. The race is cup-less, so participants should bring their own reusable cups or bottles. Race kit pickup is available on October 11th from 7:30 am until the race start.
