About the race

SUNRISE TRAILS is a monthly outdoor gathering organized by Ottawa Free Fitness at Rue Marie-Burger in Gatineau Park on Sunday August 23, 2026. The event takes place rain or shine and offers both trail running and hiking options with free registration.

Available course options include:

  • 12 km trail run
  • 8.5 km hike
  • 3 km out and back plus 2.3 km Pink Lake loop option

Routes use trails 15 and 35, with a possible extension to trail 78 for trail runners. The Pink Lake section includes stairs and is described as an intermediate option. Leashed dogs are permitted on the trails but are not allowed on the Pink Lake loop. The organizer notes that this location has not been run in 14 months.

Participants are advised to bring a hydration pack, healthy snacks and appropriate trail running or hiking gear. A change of socks and shoes is recommended after the activity. Free street parking is available nearby and post-adventure breakfast beverages will be at Relais Plein Air du parc de la Gatineau, 397 Boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes, Gatineau, Quebec J8Z 3P9.

Registration and participation imply acceptance of the Eventbrite waiver which releases Sunrise Trails and its leaders from certain liabilities and requires participants to assume the risks of outdoor physical activity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
