We could not have made this season happen without some amazing sponsors, so we wanted to shout them out and remind all of you to shop local and support businesses who love the run!
Big thanks to the places that let us host our events, including Ontario Parks, Beaver Valley Ski Club, Blue Mountain Ski Resort and Osler Bluffs Ski Club! (Reminder that trail passes for Beaver Valley and Osler are available if you loved those trails.)
And here’s the list of all of the amazing sponsors that made the season possible, with a huge thanks to both VO2 Sports Co in Collingwood, Salomon, Consummate Athlete + Strong Girl Publishing for their incredible support at every event. Special shoutouts to Believer Coffee, Olway, FuelKit, Tractor and Later Pizza for keeping us fed and hydrated at the events as well. Big thanks to Jody Wilson Photos for making us look good as well!

Frequently asked questions
What do I get with my membership?
The 6 bi-weekly flagged trail run/hike/walk courses with ‘Apres’ socials (June/July/Aug) are included in your membership. You also get…
A welcoming environment for all levels — from first-time trail runners/hikers to seasoned racers (short course ~4K and long course ~8K)
Weekly Strava challenges to explore more of the beautiful Blue Mountains trails (and earn points towards prizes)
Social events and community meetups
Volunteer trail days and stewardship for your local trails
Giveaways from local business partners (trust us, the final giveaways are epic—and the draw prizes after each run are pretty great too!)
How much does membership cost?
A full season membership is CA$110.09 (including Race Roster fees and HST) and CA$40.37 for kids 4-18 and kids under 4 are free. Single races are CA$29.47 each if you know you can only make it to one or two, want to test the waters first, or you want to bring a friend out for one night only!
Are there any prizes or timing?
We won’t have podiums. But scoring is done via logging your run on Strava afterwards (make sure you upload it as a run, not a walk or hike). We’ll have a points system based on both participation and placing, and at the end of the season, we will have some big prizes for top points holders. And after each of the six runs, we’ll have smaller draw prizes that everyone can win!
What time are runs at?
We’ll be there at 5:30 (if you want to come early to warm up!) and we’ll start the marked course at 6PM on the dot (okay, probably 6:15 on week 1 as everyone gets registered!), but if you’re not interested in running at the front of the pack, feel free to start a few minutes later. Draw prizes will start 1 hour after the start, so typically at 7PM.
How will I know where the course is?
Courses will be flagged, but we will also send out the route via Strava 2-3 days before the run so runners can download it to their phone or watch. We recommend having the Strava file downloaded for offline use in the event that a flag is missing. You can also join our club on Strava to see all the routes!
How long are the routes?
Marked routes will be 4K long, with options to do one or two loops, depending on your pace and preference. Courses are designed so that walkers/hikers/people running with kiddos can complete one loop in roughly an hour, while runners will be able to do two loops of the course in an hour.
What time is the social?
At 7PM, we’ll get the social going—drinks, snacks and raffle prizes will be provided!
What should I bring?
While we’ll have a big jug of water and drinks for the apres, BYO bottle or pack for during the run, along with any snacks/packs that you typically run with. We also recommend bug spray and a change of clothes for post-run, since it gets sweaty out there!
Will you cancel for rain?
Sometimes. Thunderstorms, huge amount of rain that will impact trails, or excessive heat may lead to a cancellation.
Will send email out by 3PM the day of.
We’ll have one bonus rain date at the end if any dates get cancelled.
Can kids register?
Yes, but please be conscious that CORR is not a babysitting service. Youth members need to be accompanied by a parent at all times. (Parents must be on site.) Children under 4 are free.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, but dogs are required to be leashed at all times and we ask that anyone running with a dog start at the back of the group or a minute after.
Are you insured?
Yes!
How do I get points?
How else can you get points, you ask? Here’s the breakdown:
1 point for bringing a food bank donation to the Thursday night run (we’ll have a box out starting on June 25)
1 point for participation in the group runs
Top 3 Men/Women in both short and long course (3-2-1 points)
1 point ‘bonus’ during each run: a selfie station, a marked KOM or a sprint segment challenge
1 point for off week challenge participation
1 point for demo night participation
1 point if you use any of your prizes (a pic of that ice cream cone or those new socks) and tag the sponsor and us
I see you’re fundraising on Race Roster—is CORR donating as well?
Yes! We’ll be donating a percentage of profits to those same organizations at the end of the season, dependent on what’s left over. Your registration goes towards things like snacks and drinks, trail use fees, signage and all that fun stuff!
Do you do refunds?
We aren’t able to offer refunds or deferrals this season.
How do I put a Strava file on my phone offline use?
Save Route: Find this week’s route on the CORR Strava. Save it, and download for offline use.
Preload Map: Open the Strava app and go to your Saved Routes. Load the route map while you still have WiFi/Data.
Go Offline: When you are ready to start, you can turn on Airplane Mode or turn off mobile data.
Start Recording: Go to the Record screen, select the route from the route icon (bottom right), and start your activity.!
Are there podiums after the runs?
Sorry, but no podiums here! We want to be as inclusive and fun-focused as possible. If you want to keep track, make sure that you complete the full segment (the Strava route) and upload your file to Strava after. The leaderboard there will serve as the unofficial scoreboard. But all prizes and giveaways will be random draw, since we want EVERYONE to feel like a winner!
