Come run the rugged trails of Ontario’s near north. Buckwallow, a cycling and skiing haven located outside Gravenhurst, boasts beautifully kept trails with rocky singletrack, fast flowing doubletrack and just enough short climbs to put you in the red zone. Great hospitality and a lovely atmosphere await!
The Course
Both the Muskoka 6 km Sport and 12 km Enduro courses will feature fast, open doubletrack, and some ultra-technical sections of singletrack. The Enduro 12 km course will employ most of Buckwallow’s trail network, and will include more climbing on the Burnt Pine, and longer sections of rock-laiden singletrack.
Which event is best for me?
For newer runners, or those who can’t train more than once or twice a week, it would be best to start in the 6 km Sport event. Fast runners can expect to complete the 6 km in less than 30 minutes, while less experienced runners may take up to an hour. The 12 km Enduro is for more seasoned off-road runners, and those with ample time to train longer distances. If you are in doubt, try the shorter Sport event and upgrade at the next one.
