News and Events

The Town of Mono will be doing roadwork on Hurontario Street between 30 Sideroad and Highway 89 around the end of June/early July. The Bruce trail runs along this road. The work will last about two weeks. Although the road will be closed to vehicular traffic, we expect that pedestrians will still be able to get through.

Saturday, September 28, 2013 – Chase the Coyote Trail Race
Website: http://chasethecoyote.com/
13.7 kilometre route is as challenging as we could make it, cliffsides, roller coaster single track, fast and flat double track, cardio challenging slopes, stairs, and beautiful vistas if you have a moment to look up from the trail.
5 kilometre route is easy and non-technical for a mildly challenging opportunity to run very pretty trails just as the autumn leaves begin to highlight the beauty of Southern Ontario
3.5 kilometre guided hike, conducted by a Bruce Trail leader.
Free Kids Fun Run
Tons of draw prizes. Overall prizes will be awarded 5 deep male/female. Finishers medal to all participants as well as race kit swag.
This is a non-profit race. Most of the proceeds go to the Dufferin Hi-Land Bruce Trail Club.
Due to limited parking and sensitivity of the trails the race will max out at 300 runners.
Manual precise timing. Gun time only is recorded. The order you cross the finish line is the order you finish.
