The Farthest

London, Canada • 21 Jun 2025

The Farthest is a unique endurance running event held in London, Ontario, Canada, where participants aim to run as far away as possible from a common starting point within a set time limit. The race offers three categories: an 8-hour "Farthest," a 4-hour "Half-Farthest," and a 2-hour "Quarter-Farthest." Runners choose their own routes, with the winner being the one who achieves the greatest straight-line distance from the start. Safety rules require use of sidewalks and adherence to traffic laws. The event emphasizes strategy, endurance, and independence, with live tracking and mandatory check-ins. Proceeds support the Children's Health Foundation.
