2020 "Fool" marathon
The "Fool" marathon (or half if you prefer) will be held again on Saturday, January 18, 2020.
The start is at the end of Lockhart Drive, St. Catharines, at 8 am for the FOOL (Full) marathon and for Halvers who prefer an early start. 10 am for the Halvers who wish a later start.
Here is the map link to the start: https://tinyurl.com/tarmxuo
For those who are not familiar with this race, it is quite different to any of the other club races. The course is the same as the Twelve Mile Creek Half Marathon held in June (see below) but there is no entry fee, no aid stations and also no marshals! It is self-navigated so it is important that you run with someone who knows the course, if you are doing this event for the first time or if you have not run the Twelve Mile Creek half. To complete a full "Fool marathon" you need to run this course twice! It will be probably be cold and slippery in parts.
We expect to have a post race lunch at the Ball Hockey club. More details will follow.

The 32nd anniversary Twelve Mile Creek Trail Half Marathon begins on Lockhart Drive, following the trail (both single track dirt and wide packed gravel), turning around where the trail meets Martindale Road. The route then returns to the Brock University campus and climbs the notorious "Hydro Hill" about 3km from the finish. This year proceeds from the race will go to support the Niagara Rankin Cancer run. Your registration fee is still less than $50!!

2019 Twelve Mile Creek Overall Results
2019 Twelve Mile Creek Age Group Results
Race Highlights
One of North America’s most historic regions, featuring the Niagara escarpment, Decew Falls, early Welland Canal sites, Decew Falls Generating Station and Twelve Mile Creek rapids. Out and back and looped section on multiple rolling hills. 80% hard-packed gravel on meandering and picturesque Twelve Mile Creek Trail also known as the historic Merritt Trail, in St. Catharines, Ontario. 6 electrolyte and water stations throughout, plenty of marshals and signage. Technical t-shirt guaranteed to pre-registered runners by May 23, 2020 at midnight. Returning runners get their names on the back of the shirts.
In January, the course is home to the Twelve Mile Creek Fool Marathon. Climb Hydro Hill, part of the Niagara Escarpment, and find out why runners keep coming back to this unique race. Great post-race party with food, beer and prizes.
