Single Track Sunday

When: 10:00 am at the trailhead, run by 10:15 am
Where: Wolf Ridge, Grand Beach Provincial Park - Meet at the Ancient Beaches trail head.

Join us for another Single Track Sunday of good friends, good company, and great trails. We’re heading back to Grand Beach Provincial Park for our April run again this year, as this trail usually offers the best conditions for shoulder season running. There could be a bit of snowpack left, but if it’s been mild and melty, the sandy, well-drained soil and rocky trails mean we can run on it without causing damage to the trail. Download the route for your watch! The official route is approximately 7.5 km. Run it as many times as you want!

Note: this year, we’re starting at the Ancient Beaches Trailhead, as the ski trails parking lot is currently closed. The Ancient Beaches trailhead has a small parking lot (please carpool to reduce congestion) as well as an outhouse. We’ll use the parking lot as our staging area, snack stops, etc). We’ll connect to the Wolf Ridge trail via the fun Ancient Beaches connector.

Bring some snacks to share! We’ll hang out at the trailhead after our run (there are a couple of picnic tables) and use the winter-warming huts if it’s cooler.

We try to organize a carpool before each event to reduce the number of vehicles at trailheads and reduce our group emissions. If you’re interested in carpooling, please email us at info@matr.ca with your name and area of the city. We’ll try to connect people interested in carpooling in advance.

Hot Tip: Have a change of clothes and shoes for the ride home.

NOTE: We’re all-weather people and run under all conditions. However, this event may be rescheduled if the road conditions make travelling unsafe on the day.
