Soulstice mountain trail run5/8/2023 ![]() The facility itself is beautiful and offers very close parking, scenic grounds, excellent washroom facilities, and an enormous pavilion to shelter spectators from the sun. The Sunburn Solstice Trail Run will take place at the AMAZING Marydale Park in Mount Hope, ON. Any person is welcome to choose whichever option they wish. The title "Women's Cut" is the actual name of the cut. Runners will now have the option to choose either a Unisex Shirt or a Women's Cut Shirt during the registration process. ![]() For events that offer shirts, such as this race, we are trying to offer our participants the best fit possible. Besides, why not do something a little different? Regardless of how far you get, it is likely to be a personal best for you since you probably haven't raced for this exact length of time before!Ĭome early and check out our vendors, cheer on other runners, and enjoy the atmosphere! The vibe at the finish of the race is magical with an outpouring of support from all of the runners just as the sun is setting.Īre you a collector of race medals? We're not going to spoil it but you will love this one! Participants will also get a soft-spun t-shirt and can choose from Women's Cut or Unisex Sizing.įor 2022, one of the improvements that we are working towards at Happy Trails Racing is offering gender specific shirt sizing (when possible). Yeah, we know, these are weird race times but they are based on the sun. Only the team captain needs to register, we will contact you closer to race day to get all of your deets! This event is an absolute blast- last year each team set up a tent, table, and chairs and had so much fun hanging out and cheering on their teammates. It is entirely possible for a speedy team to collectively reach 100 miles or more in the time provided. Each member of the team will receive a shirt and a finishing medal. They can switch runners as frequently as they wish but each runner must run the full loop and all transitions must occur in the designated "relay transition area". Relay Full Solstice: 15:23 (Starts at 5:39am - Ends at 9:03pm)- For the Relay Race, teams can have up to 5 runners per team. Quarter Solstice: 3:51 (Starts at 9:00am - Ends at 12:51pm)Įighth Solstice: 1:55 (Starts at 7:00am - Ends at 8:55am) Half Solstice: 7:41 (Starts at 1:22pm - Ends at 9:03pm) Our intentions are to use the same section of trail but that will depend on the weather leading up to the race, since sections of the route are prone to becoming soggy if there is a lot of rain.ĭon't feel like racing for the entire solstice? No problem, we have plenty of different options for you:įull Solstice: 15:23 (Starts at 5:39am - Ends at 9:03pm) Last year, we were able to utilize a 4km section of trail that was beautiful. The course will be a mixture of tree covered trails and open field so bring your sunscreen! The exact course length won't be available until a couple of weeks before the race because we are going to design the course to be the best we possibly can, which means we are going to use the trails that are in the best condition and offer the most scenic options for race day. The race will be run on a 4km trail loop with little elevation change, though there are a couple of very short rolling hills (that will feel as though they are growing with each loop). Do you think that you can shine for that long as well? How far do you think that you can run in 15:23? That's certainly a long time for the sun to be gloriously sending light our way. ![]() The Summer Solstice represents the longest day of the year with 15hrs, 23minutes, 31 seconds of sun. We are also proud to announce that this event is sanctioned by Athletics Ontario. We share common values and a belief that everyone deserves to enjoy the outdoors! ![]() We are excited to be partnering with Merrell.
