Iron Horse Ultra 2026

Iron Horse Ultra 2026 brings runners into the Lakeland around St. Paul, Alberta, over the first weekend in October. The event spans October 2 to 4, with staggered race starts on Saturday, October 3.

Built around a continuous trail ultra, the weekend offers 100K and 100-mile options for solo runners and teams. It sits in a northern Alberta backcountry setting that leans into distance, footing, and persistence rather than speed.

For runners looking for a fall trail challenge, this is a race that stays close to the land and the route.

The start is at Reunion Station in St. Paul. The route is trail-based and runs through county roads, gravel trail bed, single-track sections, and open fields.

The course is described as a continuous trail ultra with aid station support along the journey. Trail races in St. Paul
