How It All Started?
The STAC Trail Race idea was born sometime in 2023 where Vincent and I, along with a group of local trail runners, dreamed of creating a race that would connect diverse and new running community to the beauty of nature. From a small but energetic beginning, the event has blossomed into a major trail running event in Southern Ontario, attracting runners of all levels who want to enjoy the thrill of trail running and the stunning outdoors.
With four exciting race distances, we had something for everyone:
1K Kids Race—perfect for young runners.
5K, 10K, and 21K—designed for runners of all levels, from beginners to experienced trail blazers.
So why so many people choose to run our Trail Race?
Racing through the scenic trails of many of the most scenic and accessible trail systems in Ontario.
Exclusive Race Swag including branded race t-shirts, running hats, and our favorites — the limited-edition STAC Wolf “Heavy Metal” design tees and hoodies.
Incredible partners like Merrell Canada, MEC, XACT Nutrition, and Athletic Brewing.
BUT, most importantly, Giving Back: Proceeds from all our events benefit STAC Hamilton youth programs, empowering young athletes and promoting a healthy, active lifestyle in the community. WE ARE 100% NON-PROFIT!
