We understand the training that you have put in so far this year and share in the disappointment that you will not be able to put it to the test along the Niagara Recreation Trail in June.
We are offering all registrants deferral to next year's Niagara Ultra on June 19, 2021 or, if you cannot make the 2021 date you can request a full refund. "

2019 Twelve Mile Creek Overall Results
2019_twelve_mile_creek_age_group_results.pdf
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.
