Race Spotlight: Sulphur Springs Trail Race
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- This is our FIRST race spotlight for a race that takes place outside of the US. This race is the largest trail race, the largest ultra, and the oldest ultra in Canada. And, as of May 2024, the first ever Western States Qualifying race based out of Ontario.
The Sulphur Springs Trail race takes place on the trails of the Dundas Valley Conservation area located in Ancaster, Ontario. The event hosts multiple race distances ranging from a 10k all the way up to a 100 miler. According to the race description, the course is a 20k loop with 520 meters of elevation gain per loop. For those of us that find the metric system challenging, the math on that is that each loop is about 12.5 miles long with 1700 feet of elevation gain.
Joining us on the podcast are two of the three Race Directors, Mauro Campanelli and Russell Thacker. If you enjoyed the episode, make sure to subscribe to the channel, hit like and leave us a comment and let us know what you think.
Special thanks to Brendan Smith for the recommendation!

Love the SSTR! Moved to Ancaster in 2020, have been running these trails since and have done the 20k the past two years. Planning on doing the 50k next year :). So happy to hear you guys covering it!
That's awesome! Enjoy the 50k! The race sounds incredible.
I ran the 20k, it was my first trail race. I had a blast! It definitely converted me to trail racing. I can't wait for next year!! See you at the finnish line!! 💪😎👍
That's awesome! Let's go!
Great Spotlight!! I'd love to see a spotlight on the Summit 200 mile in Colorado, currently running its inaugural race! The whole race is run above 9,300 feet!
Thanks for the recommendation! We will check them out.
Just did a quick check! These RDs are great. We recently had a spotlight of one of their other races, the Cowboy 200. Casey and Chase Hammond are solid and will put on an awesome race.
