Welcome to Trail Fix! We are thrilled to have you join us for this 100+km point-to-point relay trail journey. This guide
will provide you with all the information that you’ll need to prepare for Race Day. Each section includes important
details that you’ll want all of your team members to be aware of, so please make certain that it is circulated among
the team for review. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@stormevents.ca
SECTION 1. GENERAL OVERVIEW
SPORTident card
Trail Fix is a 100+km point-to-point trail relay for teams of four or five.
The course is made up of 10 stages, broken into different legs:
Stage 1 is completed four times.
Stages 2 through 9 are all completed once.
Stage 10 is completed by all team members together, with the option to
leave one behind.
Teams are entirely free to divvy the legs up as they like. Typically, each runner “punching” at the SPORTident
will complete at least 3 to 4 legs. Stages range in distance between 2.9km and control box
13km, so the total distance per runner will vary depending in how your team
splits up the legs. The Team Tracking Tool in Section 7 will help you to
determine this.
There are 6 Transition Areas (TAs) on the course where runners alternate
between race legs.
Teams must have a maximum of one (1) designated team vehicle to caravan
themselves between the TAs. At Check-In, teams are issued a parking pass for
their team vehicle, as well as a driving guide to the TA locations.
Cut-off times will be implemented at various points on the course. Teams that
are not going to make a cut-off time will be permitted to “SimulFix,” where the
outgoing runner may be sent out onto the next leg before the incoming runner
arrives. This will allow teams to complete two legs simultaneously. Further course markings:
details are provided in Section 4.
Each team will be issued a SPORTident timing card which they will use to
punch ‘in’ and ‘out’ at the Transition Areas. A SPORTident control box will
digitally record in/out times onto your card, and the data will later be
downloaded and entered into the overall results at the Finish Line.
A second SPORTident card will be issued at designated TAs prior to the Stage
cut-off times. This card is given to the outgoing runner, so that they may
start a new leg before the incoming teammate arrives. Teams will then be 1
able to complete two legs at a time (or “SimulFix”) from that point forward. Event in Progress
Please do not Remove
The finish line site at Albion Hills Conservation Area is where Stages 8, 9 and 10
converge, and will feature a post-race BBQ & beer garden. Teams are welcome

SECTION 3. RACE RULES - GENERAL
Note that violations of race rules may result in a team’s disqualification. Race Officials (including volunteers) have the
authority to disqualify teams for any such rule violations, as well as for abusive behavior or refusal to follow instruction.
All team members must be present at Check-In prior to Race Start. The team that arrives at Check-In is the team
that will be permitted on the racecourse – no exceptions. Runners will be issued wristbands at Check-In that will
be used to validate official team members in Transition Areas and on the course.
The maximum number of racers on a team is either 4 or 5. Teams are permitted to compete with fewer runners
if they choose.
Teams are free to divvy up the stages among their runners any way that they wish - there are no restrictions on
how many legs any team member completes. So long as a team has separate completion times logged on their
timing cards for all of the race legs, their results will be considered official. If any race leg is not completed, the
team will be considered “not officially ranked” in the finish results.
Stage 10 is completed by all team members together, but teams have the option to leave a maximum of one
runner behind if they choose.
Race legs may not be split up between team members. Runners may only tag off between teammates at
designated Transition Areas – they may not do so at any other point on the course.
Only outgoing runners waiting to tag off with their incoming teammates will be permitted inside the Transition
Area tag-off zone.
Runners are responsible for ensuring that they punch ‘in’ and ‘out’ at the timing stations at each Transition Area.
Failure to have an in or out time recorded may result in a team not being credited for completing the leg.
Pacers are not permitted. With the exception of Stage 10, only one team member may complete a race leg at a time.
SECTION 3.1 RACE RULES - TEAMS
Members of a team may be changed, but only if notification is given prior to Race Day.
All racers must check-in prior to the start of the race, and must sign a race waiver. Any participants under the
age of 18 must have a parent or guardian co- sign these waivers.
Racers under 16 years of age must be on a team that includes at least one adult.
SECTION 3.2 RACE RULES - EQUIPMENT
Teams are permitted only one (1) designated team vehicle – no other vehicles will be permitted into Transition
Areas. Teams will be issued a parking pass which must be made visible upon entry to the TA parking areas.
All racers must have their race bib visible and their wristband on their wrist at all times during the race.
Replacement costs for lost SPORTident timing cards will be charged to the team at a fee of $50
SECTION 3.4 RACE RULES - OTHER
Runners must follow the direction given at road crossings by Police Officers or Course Marshals.
The determination of when it is safe to cross is at their discretion, and may not be challenged.
Littering on the course or at any of the Transition Areas is strictly prohibited.
Use of personal music devices is permitted, but discouraged. If you use one, please keep one ear
free from headphones, and keep your music at a low level.
As much as we love dogs, they are not permitted either on the course or in the Transition Areas. We’ll be keeping
our dogs at home for this reason, so we need to kindly ask that you to do the same.
Consumption of alcohol is not allowed anywhere on the course other than in the permitted areas at the finish
zone inside Albion Hills Conservation Area.
SECTION 4. CUT-OFF TIMES AND SIMULFIXING
A process we refer to as “SimulFixing” is used to ensure that all teams can finish the
course in full. There will be two cut-off times imposed on the racecourse, but not making
those cut-offs will not impact a team’s ranking, or result in disqualification. Teams that
do not make a cut-off will instead be allowed to run stages simultaneously; sending their
outgoing runner out onto the next leg before the incoming runner arrives.
Teams that SimulFix will be issued a second SPORTident timing card so
that there can be two runners completing different legs at once. Secondary
timing cards will be issued thirty minutes prior to the two cut-off times.
It is highly recommended that teams take their secondary timing card if they
are in a transition area during this half-hour timeframe, even if they feel that
their incoming runner will arrive before the cut-off. Doing so will at least give
them the option to SimulFix on later stages if need be.
The cut-offs will be as follows - teams will not be permitted to begin the next
stage after these two times:
1:00pm - cut-off at the end of Stage 3 (Terra Cotta Transition Area)
5:00pm - cut-off at the end of Stage 6 (Inglewood Transition Area)
Note that runners that begin a SimulFix leg (ie. before their incoming runner arrives)
must punch ‘out’ at the SPORTident control box at the Transition Area of the leg they are
starting. Failure to do so will result in your team not being credited for the leg. Be sure
to check with Race Staff at the TA before leaving.
By SimulFixing, teams may need to prepare to have runners at more than one Transition Area. Drive times between
TAs are fairly short, but teams will want to pay close attention to the time estimates provided in the Section 7
tracking tool so that they can manage their runner logistics accordingly. Keep in mind though that by SimulFixing, it
will be your cumulative leg times that will be recorded rather than your elapsed time, so you don’t need to worry as
much about meeting your incoming runner as soon as they arrive.
Teams are free to SimulFix at any time following the first cut-off. Completion times from both primary and
secondary timing cards will be merged at the Finish Area.

Elevation: +33m / -33m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy
Difficulty Rank: 10th of 10
Starting at the Terra Cotta Conservation Area, Trail Fix
begins with a fast and furious starting loop around Wolf
Lake. This 2.9km stage must be completed four times
prior departing onto Stage 2, but teams are free to split the
loops up between team members as they like. This
beautiful rolling loop winds mainly through open
doubletrack - perfect for getting the legs jump-started for
the day ahead!
STAGE 2
Name: Rock This Way
Route: Terra Cotta to Silver Creek
Distance: 9.8km
Elevation: +218m / -184m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy, Technical, Very Technical
Difficulty Rank: 4th of 10
Stage 2 follows the Stage 1 route through Terra Cotta,
then breaks off to head south and onward to the
ruggedly beautiful Silver Creek Conservation Area.
Runners will follow a rolling ridge overlooking a gorgeous
escarpment valley, then dance along rocky rooty trails
leading you over creeks and streams and through to the
transition area. Keep your head up on this leg!
STAGE 3
Name: Moonraker
Route: Silver Creek to Terra Cotta
Distance: 13.2km
Elevation: +240m / -285m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy, Technical, Very Technical
Difficulty Rank: 2nd of 10
Stage 3 gets its name from the moon-like terrain that you'll
encounter in some sections, as we're now into Escarpment
Country at its finest! This stage offers the complete
package of trail elements - you'll pass through rugged
rocky stretches, big valley descents, bridge crossings over
moving streams, stair-climbing and even some boulder-
hopping! Send your best trail dancer on this one!
STAGE 4
Name: Blissful Duplicity
Route: Terra Cotta to Inglewood
Distance: 11.9km
Elevation: +33m / -108m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy
Difficulty Rank: 6th of 10
Back at the starting area, Stage 4 runners will officially
begin their north-eastward attack. They'll first face a
rolling and very scenic trail section leading out of Terra
Cotta Conservation Area, before hopping a trail stile to
the southern edge of the Caledon Trailway. From here
it's rail-trail running bliss through rural countryside as
you make your way to the transition area in the historic
Village of Inglewood.
STAGE 5
Name: Stick a Fork in Me, I'm Done
Route: Inglewood to Forks of the Credit
Distance: 12.0km
Elevation: +355m / -228m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy, Technical
Difficulty Rank: 3rd of 10
Things are looking up! Literally. The route to the Forks
of the Credit Provincial Park takes you through some
spectacularly scenic stretches of trail, paired with some
noticeable gains in elevation. This stage also features
the only significant road section, generously positioned
mid-way through. You'll both climb and descend as
you make your way north towards the heart of the
Credit River watershed, and to the beautiful open
meadows of the Forks.
STAGE 6
Name: Devil Takes the Credit
Route: Forks of the Credit to Inglewood
Distance: 13.2km
Elevation: +260m / -407m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy, Technical, Very Technical
Difficulty Rank: 1st of 10
Our Race Director's pick! While it may be the longest,
this stage combines gorgeous trail running with some
very cool features. The most noteworthy being the
infamous Devil's Pulpit - a legendary ascent of the
Niagara Escarpment that first feels like passing through
a lush BC rain forest, then smacks you with a final sting
up a 35-foot cliff face. From there it's smooth sailing
back down to Inglewood, and to the final third of the
course.STAGE 7
Name: Pain Train
Route: Inglewood to Caledon East
Distance: 11.4km
Elevation: +37m / -14m
Trail Types: Easy
Difficulty Rank: 9th of 10
Stage 7 is the one where road runners shine the most!
No dawdling for the team vehicle here, as this flat and fast
section is 100% rail trail from Inglewood through to
Caledon East. This beautifully canopied leg passes
alongside rural farmsteads and over Credit River
tributaries, inching you ever-closer to the final stages at
Albion Hills.
STAGE 8
Name: Run for the Hills
Route: Caledon East to Albion Hills
Distance: 9km
Elevation: +85m / -107m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy
Difficulty Rank: 8th of 10
Stage 8 leads you from the charming village of Caledon
East to the southern boundary of Albion Hills
Conservation Area. Rail trail will bring you most of the
way to the transition, but the final stretch of the leg is
where its name takes shape, as you begin climbing your
way into the hills of Albion along forested doubletrack.
Once you arrive, your team is here to stay, as you're now
at the final transition of the course.STAGE 9
Name: Unidentified Stains
Route: Albion Hills Loop 1
Distance: 6.2km
Elevation: +154m / -154m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy
Difficulty Rank: 5th of 10
Stage 9 captures some of the best of the rolling forested
terrain that Albion Hills is so well-known for. This loop is all
about open fields mixed with lush forest cover, and hard-
packed singletrack mixed with gentle soft-trail doubletrack.
You'll circle the northern half of the park and return to the
transition/finish area, to prepare for your team's assault on
the grande finale stage.
STAGE 10
Name: Flush Me
Route: Albion Hills Loop 2
Distance: 4.3km
Elevation: +130m / -130m
Trail Types: Moderate, Easy
Difficulty Rank: 7th of 10
This is it! The Trail Fix race experience concludes with a
short final loop within Albion Hills that is completed by
all team members together. Teams will have the option
of leaving one runner behind if they choose.
You’ll have to work for that big finish though, as things
begin with a big fat ascent of the Green Monster,
followed by an equally steep climb on the other side.
Runners then circle around old Lake Albion, following
rolling trail back to transition and through the finish -
spiking the end of your incredible 100+ kilometre
journey!SECTION 6.

Things to Bring:
Headlamps - most teams should be finished before dark, but best to have some on-hand just in case!
Rain Gear - pop-up tents, umbrellas, rain jackets. If you’ve got it, bring it! Transitions Areas will not have
shelter, so you will want to be prepared in the event of poor weather.
Food/water - bring lots! Even split up among four team members, 100+km is a lot of running!
Cups/water bottles - this is a cupless event, so please come prepared.
Camp chairs - for Transition Area and post-race hanging out.
First Aid Kit - we will have medics on-course, but just so that you can address blisters, cuts or scrapes as needed.SECTION 8. FAQS Does each team member have to run a certain number of legs? No. So long as all legs are completed, you are free to divvy up them among teammates any way you like. The exception is Stage 10, which all team members complete together (with the option to leave one runner behind). Does my team 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. Wristbands will be issued at Check-In to validate runners on the racecourse. Can spectator vehicles go to the Transition Areas? Unfortunately no. Only one vehicle per team will be permitted into the Transition Areas. Teams will be issued a parking permit which will be checked at TAs. This rule will be strictly enforced. What is the total distance I will be running? That depends entirely on how your team decides to break up the legs. A typical range for teams of four might be between 22-32km per person (less for teams of 5). However, teams are entirely free to divvy up the legs as they see fit. Are pacers allowed? Pacers are not permitted, and race legs may not be split up between team members. Only one runner may complete a race leg at a time. Will I be running in the dark? With the SimulFix option available, most teams should be finished before dark, but it is conceivable that the final stage in Albion Hills could be completed after sunset for some teams (darkness starts to fall at around 8:00pm in early September). Best practice is to have a few headlamps ready just in case. Will there be aid stations? We will not be offering the typical aid stations of a solo trail race, given that teams will have regular access to their team vehicles. However, we will have water and snacks available at select TAs. Local amenities are available in the communities of Terra Cotta, Cheltenham, Belfountain and Caledon East – at least one of which will be within minutes of your travels between Transition Areas. Will there be washrooms on the course? Yes - each Transition Area will have washrooms available. Will there be shelter at Transition Areas? No - each of the TAs will be at outdoor facilities. Your vehicle will be your primary shelter in the event of poor weather, but we highly recommend also having rain gear available such as umbrellas, pop-up tents or rain jackets. Will there be food at the Finish Line? Hell yes! A post-race BBQ and beer garden will await you at the finish zone inside Albion Hills Conservation Area.

end of the day, by reserving a campsite for either Friday or Saturday night. Booking details are available here.
SECTION 11. REFUND POLICY
Entry into Trail Fix is to be viewed as an all-in commitment made at the point of registration – please note
that entry fees may only be refunded to a maximum of 50% of the total amount paid if the request is made
anytime before the six weeks leading up to the event date, and that no refunds will be offered under any
circumstances within those six weeks prior to the event.
