The Caledon Crusher course traverses the Caledon Hills section of the Bruce Trail, offering a mix of singletrack and doubletrack paths. Runners encounter numerous technical sections, rocky outcrops, and rolling hills. The 25k route features approximately 850 meters of elevation gain, the 50k boasts around 1,200 meters, and the E2E (72k) challenges runners with about 2,100 meters of climbing. The course is marked only with the Bruce Trail's white blazes, requiring participants to be attentive and familiar with trail navigation.
