Blackstrap Trail Race
The Saskatoon Road Runners present the Blackstrap Trail Race at Blackstrap Provincial Park near Dundurn, Saskatchewan. Trails run along the forested valley walls below Mount Blackstrap and include a mix of wider cross-country ski trails and single track. The event offers races of roughly 5 km and 10 km, with age categories for Under 20, Open and Masters.
Registration is capped at 80 participants. The stated entry fee is $15.00 per runner plus taxes and Race Roster administration fees. There are no refunds. Members of the Saskatoon Road Runner Association receive a $5.00 discount. This is a green, no frills event: there are no T-shirts and no medals. No awards will be presented; instead five special draw prizes will be offered.
A traditional wiener roast lunch follows the run. Official results, including age class and Masters subdivisions, will be posted on the organizers' website later in the day after the event.
Blackstrap Provincial Park is located about 50 km south of Saskatoon. Directions given by the organizers follow Highway 11 to Dundurn, then Highway 211 to Blackstrap Lake, cross the causeway and enter the park at the kiosk; the trailhead parking lot is about 2 km past the kiosk on the first left. A provincial park pass or daily permit is recommended. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
