The GOOD Games 2026 - Guelph

The GOOD Games 2026 - Guelph pairs trail running with a larger three-day sport and festival weekend at the University of Guelph. The running schedule sits alongside music, food, wellness zones, and other sport activity, giving the event a busy community feel.

Trail runners have 5K and 10K options, plus a Kids 1K on the same weekend. It’s a short-course setup that works well for runners who want a flexible distance choice without leaving the festival setting.

The trail run is part of a broader movement-focused weekend built around participation, play, and cheering on other events across campus.

For runners comparing local trail options, it fits alongside other trail races in Guelph.

The trail run uses a 2.5 km loop at the Guelph Arboretum / Turfgrass Institute. The route has rolling hills and mixes crushed gravel, wood chips, grass, and a short stretch of pavement. It is described as a well-maintained, non-technical trail course.
