About this Event

The North Face Trail Series x Slowpokes Ottawa
A nationwide morning trail race series, popping up across Canada from May to July, invites runners to explore and traverse their own city.

Slowpokes and The North Face are bringing a Trail Series to Montréal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver. A 10-15km checkpoint-style trail race through each city's most iconic trails and landmarks. Equal parts race, city tour, and run club takeover.

The format

No fixed route. Just checkpoints. Hit them in any order, on your own line, at your own pace. Whether you're gunning for the podium or rolling conversation-pace with your crew, this is your race, your way. Start and finish at the same spot, show up, run, stick around.

The vibe

Mornings only. Coffee, food, DJs, giveaways, and prizes for the winners. The block-party energy you remember, just earlier in the day. Don't want to race? Cool. Bring friends, take it easy, and post up after.

The cities

Montréal — May 30, 2026

Toronto — June 13, 2026

Ottawa — June 27, 2026

Vancouver — July 11, 2026

Who it's for

Everyone. First-time racers, slow joggers, fast runners, run-club regulars, and anyone who wants to see their city on foot. Slowpokes built this around the idea that running is for everyone. The North Face Trail Series is built that way too.

Tickets are limited per city. Lock yours in!
