Limberlost Challenge

The Limberlost Forest and Wildlife Reserve is the trail runner’s dream with its challenging terrain that will take you alongside pristine lakes, through a wetland with its tier of beaver dams, up and over some steep inclines and either tiptoeing or splashing through the occasional creek or mud hole.

In the Limberlost Challenge, you will run through technical areas that will require the nimblest of footwork and on trails that allow you to open up to your best speed, plus everything in between. You will marvel at the extraordinary beauty of this privately owned Reserve that we are so privileged to enjoy. It will leave you breathless in more ways than one!

This course features some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see. These historic trails will take you alongside five lakes, several ponds and wetlands, across creeks and boardwalks and under some amazing rock formations. It is 95% trails and 5% gravel road. Considered to be a challenging course, it is generally flat to rolling. It has some longer gradual inclines such as up the Wetlands and some shorter steep hills that will get the heart rate up. With bush cover and the lakeside for most of the course, the summertime heat will be tempered. The one area where we have seen mosquitoes is downhill, so you can outrun them!

We promise you a well marked course, enthusiastic volunteers and a post-race meal that you will write home about.
