Course
One of the key features of the FarFetched Invitational is uncertainty. The one thing it will never be is a traditional point-to-point foot race. Each year will be a different, trail running based event. We'll provide some basic parameters, but details will be sparse until the Event Preparation Phase. The basic parameters for the 2025 FarFetched Invitational are as follows:
-
The event will be on the trails of Mendon Ponds Park
-
The event will last an hour
Registration
The second key feature of the FarFetched Invitational is that it serves as a point of reflection and celebration of the past year of events. As such, participants and volunteers from the past 12 months of FarFetched events will be invited to participate. For the 2025 FarFetched Invitational, this includes:
​
-
2024 Ontario Summit Trail Races
-
2025 Frozen Assets Endurance Run
​
Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Post-Race Activities
The third key feature of the FarFetched Invitational is that the Special Award will be handed out during the post-race activities. It may not necessarily go to the swiftest of foot or the keenest of eye, so it just might be your lucky day.
​
After the race we will return to the Canfield Woods shelter for food, drink, and camaraderie.
