8 Hours of Hurtin’ in Haliburton

[grve_title title=”8 Hours of Hurtin’ in Haliburton” heading_tag=”h1″ heading=”h1″ line_type=”line”]

Home to hundreds of kilometers of private back country logging roads and trails, the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve is the perfect place for a gravel race. For the second year in a row, you’ll have the chance at the podium, while having a blast doing it!

The 27km course was selected to challenge racers with punchy climbs and beautiful fast flowing descents.

Complete as many laps in 8 hours as a Solo rider or invite your friends and join a team of two (Duo) or three (Trio) and participate in the popular relay race format. Sounds like a good time, right?

Home to 400km of private back country logging roads and trails which make it the perfect place to try your first endurance cycling event or clock serious mileage – and have a blast doing it!

Despite the roads being private, there will be limited traffic so participants are asked to adhere to Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act regulations for their safety.

Group camping and cabins are available for participants to rent before and/or after the event.

Other activities such as Kennel Tours, Canopy Tours and visiting the Wolf Center are options for visitors and families not participating in the race.
