About Albion Ascent Trail Race 2026
Albion Ascent Trail Race 2026 brings a mixed-surface trail day to Hamilton’s escarpment on September 27. The event centres on Greenhill Bowl Park and offers 21K, 10K, 5K, and kids run options.
The course mix leans urban-trail: paved paths, dirt trails, and rougher technical sections, with Hamilton scenery woven through the route. The longer race heads onto the Bruce Trail, while the shorter distances keep things a little more approachable.
It’s a good fit for runners who want hills, forest, and a proper local trail feel without leaving the city.
For runners comparing local trail options, it fits alongside other trail races in Hamilton.
