Willibald Pasture Dash

Willibald Pasture Dash

Willibald Pasture Dash is a cross country style race held on the pasture at Willibald Farm Distillery & Brewery in Ayr, Ontario, on September 27, 2026. The event is listed as sold out.

The course is a 2.5 km loop through the pasture, offered in two race distances:

• 5 km - two loops of the 2.5 km pasture course
• 10 km - four loops of the 2.5 km pasture course

All racers receive a curated collection of goods, including a specially brewed beer made for the race (available only to persons 19 years of age and older). A timing company will record times and publish results, and prizes will be awarded to the fastest three in each field. A photographer will be on site to capture participants and a gallery from prior years exists.

Proceeds from the race will be donated to the rare Charitable Research Reserve, a community-based land trust and environmental institute that protects over 1,200 acres across eight properties in Waterloo Region and Wellington County. Donations made with registration are directed through Run for Life to rare.

The event is organized collaboratively by Run for Life and Willibald Farm Distillery & Brewery, with support from local partners. Transfers are allowed via Race Roster until September 6; no deferral or refund requests will be accepted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
