All Day

Join us on September 30th at the Springwater Conservation Area in Aylmer for The Howling Ghost Trail Race!

You can choose to complete 8k, 16k, or The BackRoads Brews + Shoes 24k through the beautiful Carolinian forest of Springwater.

This race is perfect for runners of all abilities. If you’re new to trail running, this would be a great place to run your first trail race. If you’re an experienced trail runner, this would be a great spot to run a personal best.

The trails are mostly wide, groomed, and extremely runnable!

Depending on your race, you’ll run 1 loop, 2 loops, or 3 loops of the 8k course. The course is a beauty!

Your registration includes your admission to Springwater. Tell them at the gate that you’ll be running, and they will let you in. We’ll be paying on your behalf out of your registration (all of your adoring fans will have to pay a $10 admission per car).

Gates open at 9 a.m.

You should be good to run this race in trail or road shoes depending on the weather.
