Foxtail Rail Race

Foxtail Rail Race, officially The Foxtail Rail Trail Race (Paul Turkstra Memorial), is a spring trail race in Dundas, Ontario, Canada that offers a rare combination of trail scenery and speed-friendly terrain. Organized by Happy Trails Racing, the event takes place in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area and follows the wide, groomed Hamilton-to-Brantford Rail Trail, making it one of the more accessible trail races in Ontario for runners who want the atmosphere of trail running without highly technical footing or heavy elevation. Held in memory of Paul Turkstra, the race balances a welcoming community tone with a course design that appeals to runners targeting strong times over longer trail distances.
