CAMP MARYDALE
HAMILTON, ON
​
​
Get ready for our second edition of Gopher Fest!
​
For participants 14 and under, this unique DontGetLost event runs a 3k course along the lakeside trails of Camp Marydale as well as a scramble style navigation course (no experience necessary, we will have beginner level to intermediate level checkpoints).
​
You do not need to be a participant of Adventure Running Kids to take part, you just have to be keen to get out on some trails and run!
​
Parents are welcome to run alongside their kids, but it is NOT compulsory. In fact, we encourage parents to let kids do this by themselves (within reason!).
