Wild Lakes 10K - Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Trail Race

The Wild Lakes 10K starts from the Maskwa Aquatics Club parking lot and follows a 10 km loop through the Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes protected wilderness area at 91 Saskatoon Drive, Halifax. The route includes single-track trails and passes by five lakes.

Organizers request that participants bring reusable drinking containers for the aid stations as part of an enhanced leave no trace approach. A GPX route will be uploaded to the event site. Onsite medical support will be provided by Halifax Search & Rescue medical teams. Trail stewards from Friends of Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes will volunteer to assist with directions on the course.

The event runs alongside Halifax Search & Rescue's Eco-Endurance Challenge E2C, and 24-hour competitors may be present on the course. Funds raised beyond event costs will be donated to Halifax Search & Rescue and Friends of Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes.

The listed registration fee for the morning race is CA$56.81, with registration open from March 3 to April 24. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
