MAP & COURSE DESCRIPTIONS


 

10 km

  • The race start is on the west side of the Gazebo in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve
  • Head due north on the gravel path. The Learning Lodge will be on your left.
  • Veer slightly to the left and onto the Lynn Headwaters Connector Trail, a broad, hard packed, and undulating path that follows the east side of Lynn Creek to the bridge accessing Lynn Headwaters Regional Park.
  • Follow the path to the right as it heads north. The trail is now called the Lynn Loop Trail.
  • When you reach the first intersection, 1.8km up the trail, stay left and follow the trail as it heads up-river. This section of Trail is called the Cedar Mills Trail.
  • As you head north, the trail narrows and becomes increasingly technical in nature.
  • After 2.6km of the Cedar Mills Trail you will reach a Debris Chute.
  • Follow the flags to the right (away from the river) and to where the Cedar Mills Trail bisects the Headwaters Trail.
  • Turn right and head onto the Headwaters Trail.
  • For the next 3.7km, the trail continuously undulates and is very technical in nature (rocks, roots, debris, boardwalks, etc.), i.e. this section is awesome fun!
  • Near the end of this 3.7km section you will have a fairly long downhill section, taking you back to the Lynn Headwaters Connector Trail.
  • Turn left and head south-east along the connector trail towards the finish, which is about 1km away.

    • When you reach the first intersection, 1.8km up the trail, turn right and head up the hill towards the Headwaters Trail. This section is relatively short in distance, but is quite challenging as it switchbacks up to the intersection.

    • For the next 1.7km, the trail continuously undulates and is very technical in nature (rocks, roots, debris, boardwalks, etc.), i.e. this section is awesome fun!
