Race Information

Pick Your Poison Trail Run is a challenging 12.5 K loop through the beautiful hills of Horseshoe Valley, roughly an hour and a half north of Toronto.  Distances include 12.5K, 25K and 50K.  

The course consists of approximately 98% off-road terrain made up of a combination of single track and ski trails. Runners will start with a 3 K "flatter" section followed by four major climbs over the remaining 9.5 K.  

This is a technical but rewarding race!
