The First Hour: Part of the Happy Hour Series
The First Hour is a trail race scheduled for June 18, 2027 in Brighton, ON at the Goodrich Loomis Conservation Area. The event is organized by Dirty Soles and is the first race in a series called the Happy Hour Series.
The course measures 6-8 km depending on trail conditions. Participants can expect hills, rocks, roots and mossy log bridges; some sections may be slippery and require caution. There are no aid stations on course. Water will be available at the start and finish areas and the event operates as a cupless race, so participants should provide their own water bottles. A porta-potty is located near the parking area; there are no other on-course facilities.
Timing will be manual and there are no placement awards for this event. Entry pricing includes a listed online fee of USD 35.07 and day-of registration is available one hour before the start for $40. Registration closes on June 11. No refunds are offered; entrants unable to attend may defer to another Happy Hour event in the series.
Dirty Soles will offer event merchandise for sale. Participants who complete all four Happy Hour races will receive a custom Dirty Soles medal and prize at the final race, The Last Hour. The series also includes cumulative time based recognitions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
