Course details
The trail runs use the XTERRA Sleeping Giant course setting in Thunder Bay, with rugged Boreal Forest terrain near the shore of Lake Superior. The half marathon trail run is a multi-lap race on the challenging run course, while the 10K and 5K give runners shorter ways to take part in the same off-road festival setting.
The record keeps the running options separate from the triathlon and duathlon categories so the public race page stays focused on runner-facing events.
