The Night Thing 2026 is a trail race organized by Race Huron along the Maitland Trail. The event takes place at the Auburn Riverside Retreat on Blyth Road in Auburn, Ontario, Canada.
Distances offered:
- 7.21 km (listed as sold out)
- 12 km
Registration opens May 1, 2026. Standard registration fees are listed at CA$65 for each distance during the published registration windows. Registrations received after September 22 are not guaranteed a t-shirt; limited quantities may be available for late registrants.
Race check-in is at the Auburn Riverside Retreat and both distances start from that location. Participants are expected to bring a headlamp, as the course is run in darkness.
Event fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. If the event is canceled due to weather and not rescheduled for the year, fees, less online registration charges, will be applied to the following year's race. Proceeds support the local community and charitable organizations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
