The Sunburn Solstice Trail Run 2026

The event takes place on June 20, 2026 at Marydale Park, Mount Hope, ON, Canada. It uses an approximately 3.7 km trail loop that will be repeated for the time based format or relay teams.

The course mixes tree covered trails and open field and includes a few short rolling hills. Organizers plan the exact route close to the event to use trails in the best condition; some sections can become soggy after heavy rain.

There are two main formats. Full Solstice 15:23 is a time based effort lasting 15 hours and 23 minutes. Full Solstice Relay 15:23 is a team format with up to five runners per team. In the relay each runner must complete the full loop and all transitions must occur in the designated relay transition area. Teams may not replace a member who leaves. Only the top team in each category receives an award. Each team member receives a shirt and a finishing medal.

The venue offers close parking, washroom facilities and a large pavilion for spectators. There is a single aid station on course supplying water, an electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, PB and J sandwiches and pickles. The event is cup less so runners need a collapsible cup or bottle to fill at the aid station.

The race is sanctioned by Athletics Ontario. La Sportiva will be present with a demo fleet and will give away two pairs of shoes at the event. Proceeds support the C.Y.O. One-to-One camp program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
