Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority bringing back South Huron Trail Run

The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is bringing back the South Huron Trail run later this summer.

After a several year absence, the trail run returns and will take place on Sunday, August 30. The South Huron Trail Run combines an opportunity for beginners and more experienced runners.

There will be an eight-kilometre run which will cross Jones Bridge. There will also be a 3.25-km run/walk which will cross Lions Bridge and Stirling Bridge. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. on race day. The 3.25-kilometre walk/run starts at 9:30 a.m. The 8-kilometre run begins at 9:45 a.m.

The ABCA ran the trail run from 2004 to 2006, and from 2007 to 2015 it was run by Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron. Now a group of community volunteers is bringing the event back. Net proceeds of the trail run go to the South Huron Trail for future trail maintenance.

Volunteers are being sought to help out at the event. You can find out more here: https://www.abca.ca/events/.
