SOO 200 2026

SOO 200 2026 is a trail ultramarathon weekend in the Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma area, set for September 11–15, 2026. The event centers on Goulais River and Stokely Creek Lodge, with the 200-miler joined by 100-miler, 100K, 50K, and shorter race options.

This race is built around northern Ontario trail terrain: single track, double track, dirt roads, cross-country sections, and some bushwhacking. The setting brings together rugged Canadian Shield ground and shoreline country, with a course style that favours steady attention and adaptable pacing.

For runners looking to pair distance with a distinctly northern trail profile, SOO 200 sits in the Trail races in Sault Ste. Marie and 200 Mile races in Sault Ste. Marie lanes.

The 200-mile race uses a prescribed trail route with a mix of single track, double track, dirt road, cross-country sections, and some bushwhacking. Route-finding is part of the experience in places, and checkpoints are spaced roughly every 20 to 40 km on the 200-mile course.

Shorter distances start from Stokely Creek Lodge. The 200-mile race begins at Pancake Bay Provincial Park, and later-race pacer support is part of the event structure.
