The Bad Thing

Auburn, Canada • 25 Oct 2025

The Bad Thing 2025 is a point-to-point trail race in Ontario’s Huron County along the Maitland Trail, from Goderich to Auburn. It offers 50K and 25K options, with the 25K starting mid-route. Runners encounter mostly single-track, highly technical trail with sections of road and groomed path; the terrain is often muddy and rugged, making it a demanding test for experienced trail runners. Logistics include a mandatory bus transfer from the Auburn Riverside Retreat to the start, with a briefing en route. The event celebrates the local community through post-race food, swag, beer or cider, and charitable fundraising benefiting local organizations.
