Conquer the Canuck

Our new change for 2020 will be the introduction of the 67.195 km Classic Canuck two day staged event. This event will replace last year’s 12 hour race and compliment the continued growth of the concept of our Conquer the Canuck Marathon Ultra Trail weekend and logistics involved in hosting this event over the two days.

Shade’s Mills has been called the best-kept secret in Cambridge. Favourite activities in this day-use area include swimming, sport fishing and canoeing. The conservation area has 12 km of hiking trails through a mature hardwood forest that winds along Mill Creek. There is good fishing for northern pike, perch, largemouth and smallmouth bass in the 32-hectare (80 acre) reservoir behind Shade’s Mills dam. It is open for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and ice fishing during the winter.
