The 2020 MEC High Point Race Series may be cancelled, but you can still run the race routes! Before hitting the trails, please refer to your local health authorities to ensure you are able to run in the specified areas.

Description

Choose your singletrack challenge. With five distances up for grabs, you get to decide just how far you want to push your limits. Look forward to killer climbs, smoking-fast downhills, and race routes that cover some of Edmonton's gnarliest trails. One thing all routes have in common? You get to run the city's hidden gems in full-on fall mode.

Well-marked routes and fun finish line village with music, stretch zones and product demos.
