Drayton Valley located on Highway 22, approximately 133 kilometres southwest of Edmonton. This friendly, central Alberta town is surrounded by Brazeau County. The three races are located in various parts of Eagle Point Provincial Park, which flanks the North Saskatchewan River in the Drayton Valley – Brazeau County area.

Race Dates, Distances & Trails

Race 2: June 19th at Pembina Nordic Community Trails (North) – 12 km

Get ready for a longer run with this race with the bulk of the trails being double wide with a hint of some single track.

Race 3: September 18 at Hilltop Trails – 10 km

Be ready for some sweet single track trails with this one! Although shorter than June’s race, this one involves more technical running and some steeper hills.

Photo taken at Hilltop Trails early summer.

The Friday a week prior to the actual ‘race’ day, the course will be marked as well as posted online (using Strava) – you have until midnight on the day following the official race day to send us your time. This will give you just over a week to get out to complete the course. Should you run the course multiple days, only your first time submitted will count.

In addition, there will be a prize for the participant whose time (over the three races) is closest to that of the race organizer!
