TRAVERSE THE VALLEY
SEPTEMBER 27, 2026
DUNDAS, ON
​​​​​
​Welcome to Traverse the Valley. Have you ever wanted to try a DontGetLost race, but you were nervous about navigating off-trail? This race is for you!
This unique race for DontGetLost is planned to be all on trail.
You will still need to navigate from point to point over the course, however for those who are less than confident in their navigational prowess, follow along with one of our trail bunnies!
​
START LOCATION
TBA
​
CATEGORIES
Junior Women (Under 18), Junior Open (Under 18), Adult Women, Adult Open, Masters Women (50+), Masters Open (50+)
​
RACE FORMAT
10km or 5km(ish) point to point race
This is a rough race distance depending on the route you choose. Don't be planning on PRing or an exact race distance, that's not the DGL way.
​
Racers will be bussed to the remote start line and make their way back to the finish line, using official Dundas Valley trails and race map. There will be checkpoints along the way that participants must visit in the order shown on the race map.
​
Competitors must remain on official Dundas Valley trails. Official trails are easy to determine as they are wide enough for small vehicles to use and marked periodically with trail posts.
​
Our race map will have all the useable trails highlighted with the same trail marker symbols that adorn the trail posts.
