Shape Divider - Style tilt
It goes without saying that life looks a lot different than it did last year when we launched the first-ever Trail Fix Relay...
In the spirit of our commitment to keep moving forward, we're adapting to the unprecedented circumstances of this very unusual season. We're taking our vision of a 100km trail relay experience for all runner types, and tweaking it to suit the current reality.
We're very glad to say that Trail Fix is back for 2020 - it just looks a little different!
Working with our partners at Albion Hills Conservation Area, we have created a new racecourse and site design to allow for a 'special edition' version of this year's Fix. What we've put together for this once-only format has been custom built to meet the practicalities of racing under the new normal.
That said, we recognize that the well-being of participants, staff and volunteers will now be on everyone's minds when people come together. Without casting a shadow on the amazing day we have in store for you, we want all teams to know that the approach we are taking is one where safety is first priority.

Does every team member have to run a certain number of legs?
No. So long as all 16 legs are completed, you are free to divvy up them among teammates any way you like.
Do teams have to be made up of four or five runners?
No - we will allow teams to compete with three or two runners if they wish. However, the full team entry fee applies no matter how many racers are on the team.
Do all team members have to be present at Check-In?
Yes, each team member must be at Check-in prior to Race Start. Those racers who are at Check-In are those who will be permitted on the racecourse - no exceptions.
What are you doing in response to COVID-19?
Click here for a summary of the changes we've made and the measures we will be taking to ensure physical distancing between teams; to minimize contact points; and allow for regular hand-washing and disinfecting.
How does the day work?
The race guide provides a full overview, complete with the Race Day itinerary, race stage details, a team planning kit, and more.
What is the total distance that each team member will be running?
That depends entirely on how your team decides to break up the legs, but the typical range for teams of 4 would be between around 25km per person (less for teams of 5). However, teams are entirely free to divvy up the legs as they see fit.
Does the race go through the night like other relay events?
No - the course is formatted such that all team members will be finished before dark. Details on how are provided in the race guide.
Will there be cut-off times?
Yes, but they won't have any impact on a team's results. Teams that do not make a cut-off will be permitted to run legs simultaneously. Details on how are provided in the race guide.
Will there be food provided?
Yes, although it will not be as per usual. Teams will be issued boxed lunches that will be delivered to each zone at designated points throughout the day.
I'm looking for teammates - can you help?
