Course Description:

Come join us for our newest race, The Beav.  Hilton Falls Conservation Area is known to have some of the best trails around.  This course is primarily made up of fast, groomed trails with some short but tougher and more technical sections thrown into the mix.  

The Beav is proud to be part of the OUTRace Series.  The 25k finishers will earn points in the Trail Series and the finishers in the 50k race will earn points in both the 50k Series and the Ultra Series.  For those of you unfamiliar with the OUTRace Series, there is no registration required.  Participants who finish any race in the OUTRace Series will automatically be entered into the series and will earn points.  

The 10km race is an out and back that will have participants run on the groomed trails around the reservoir and over to the waterfall.  From the waterfall, runners will then get to experience a short section of rugged and highly technical terrain on the Bruce Trail before turning around and retracing the route back to the start. (map and elevation profile to come)

The 25km race will start with the same route as the 10k but instead of turning around, runners will continue on the Beaver Dam Trail, which inspired the name of the race.  The remainder of the "out section" of the course is a pleasant mixture of single track and double track with some additional technical sections for runners to overcome before heading back towards the finish line.  (map and elevation profile to come)

The 50km race will be the same as the 25k course but will be run twice.  The 50km course will have a 9hr cutoff.  Those who plan on taking more than 7hrs must bring a headlamp or flashlight as the sun sets by 5:00pm at this time of year (it is 1 week after the clocks go back for daylight savings).

The timing of this race makes it perfect for runners trying to squeeze in one more race for the season or for those who want to try a new distance.  

Pacers:

Sorry, pacers are not permitted in any of the events.  If you feel that you will need a pacer, for safety reasons, please contact the Race Director before registering.  Particpants over the age of 65 can have a pacer if necessary.

Race Apparel, Medals, and Prizing:

Stay warm after the race with a custom heaveyweight full zip-up hoodie that is included in the registration for the 25k and 50k events.  Runners in the 10k will receive a soft spun custom t-shirt with an option to upgrade to the hoodie during registration.  (Please note: hoodie and t-shirt design are subject to change depending on supplier availability)

Finishers will receive a REALLY cool, hand crafted clay beaver medallion made by local ceramic artists.  Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 male/female in each race distance.
