South Huron Trail Run returns
Community organizers excited to bring back South Huron Trail Run
The South Huron Trail Run is back!
Community organizers say they are bringing back the popular run. The trail run takes place on Sunday, August 30, 2026.
It is returning after an absence of several years.
Organizers say they are very excited to be bringing the trail run back.
People have missed this event, which combines an opportunity for runners ranging from beginners to experienced to compete and challenge themselves while enjoying nature in this wonderful destination.
The event offers beginner and experienced runners a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a trail run though a variety of wooded environments, along a scenic river valley, and two lovely bridge crossings.
There will be an eight-kilometre run which will cross Jones Bridge.
There will also be a 3.25-km run/walk which will cross Lions Bridge and Stirling Bridge.
Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. on race day.
The 3.25-kilometre walk/run starts at 9:30 a.m.
The 8-kilometre run begins at 9:45 a.m.
Runners who have taken part in previous years have fond memories of the run and enjoyed the nature experience.
They enjoy the opportunity to challenge themselves while also enjoying the natural surroundings while also knowing they are supporting a very worthy cause of maintaining a wonderful trail system.
The South Huron Trail Run ran for more than a decade but has been absent for more than a decade before its return this year.
Ausable Bayfield Conservation ran the event in 2004 to 2006. Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron continued the event between 2007 and 2015.
The organizers of the run say they need volunteers leading up to the event and on race day.
If you would like to volunteer, please contact organizers.
Net proceeds of the trail run go to The Friends of the South Huron Trail for future trail maintenance.
