Welcome to the Rice Lake Why just run.
Courses
For newcomers, families, or those who just want a short stroll through the forest, we're offering a short and intermediate course. Short course is only on trails. Intermediate course is mostly on trails, but just a little longer!
Course Close
The course closes at 12 noon, so you must be back at the finish at or before this time.
Course Notes
- The Expert and Elite courses will take longer and be more physical and require more map skills than our Wednesday night events. Both courses will be the same technical difficulty, so pick your course accordingly.
- The Short and Sport courses are advised for beginners
- We strongly recommend leg covering.
- You will likely encounter lots of cyclists and walkers on the courses. Please be careful and respectful of other trail users.
Meet Location
We will start at the gazebo at the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve. Please ensure you obey all parking signs and restrictions.
