Race Info

There’s a reason it’s called the Hilly Half. Runners from all over come to test their legs – and their grit – on the scenic trails that wind through the Madawaska Highlands. The reward? Crisp fall air, epic views, and the unmatched feeling of crossing a challenging finish line. Whether you’re just here for the adventure or chasing a personal best, this race is sure to give back as much as it demands.

All the information you’ll need as a participant in the Hilly Half Marathon or 10 km race is listed below. If you have any more questions about the race, please feel free to contact us at info@cedarridgecamp.ca
