The First Hour

The First Hour

The First Hour is the opening event of the Friday Night Happy Hour series organized by Dirty Soles at Goodrich Loomis Conservation Area in Brighton, ON. The advertised event distance is 8K, with the course varying between 6 and 8 km depending on trail conditions.

The trail includes hills, rocks, roots and mossy log bridges. Some sections can be slippery and caution is advised. There are no aid stations on course. Water will be available at the start and finish. This is a cupless event and participants must provide their own waterbottles.

Facilities are limited: a porta‑potty is located near the parking area and there are no other on‑course facilities. Timing is done manually and there are no placement awards. Refunds are not offered; registrations may be deferred to other Happy Hour events.

Online registration is listed at USD 35.07 and day of registration is available for USD 40. Dirty Soles merchandise will be available for purchase. Participants who complete all three Happy Hour races will receive a custom Dirty Soles medal and prize at The Last Hour. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
