Welcome to the Talon Trail Races, in partnership with BackRoads Brews + Shoes!
Discover one of Southwestern Ontario's hidden trail systems as you wind through mature forests, river valleys, technical singletrack and scenic countryside along the Ausable River. Whether you're chasing a new challenge, racing for a podium, or enjoying a walk through nature with friends and family, Talon Trail Races is designed to be an unforgettable fall trail running experience.
Participants can choose from four unique distances designed to suit a range of abilities and goals. The signature 26 km point-to-point course will offer a rewarding journey through diverse and scenic terrain taking runners from Mystery Falls to Joany’s Woods. For those looking for shorter distances, Joany’s Woods will host three looped options: a 3.3 km walk, a 7.7 km walk/run, and a 11 km run combining both loops. These routes all begin and end at the same main gathering area, creating an energetic and welcoming atmosphere for participants and spectators alike.
Every registration supports local conservation!
