Long Point Trail Club
A trail club for every pace and every person.
The Long Point Trail Club is a community trail running (and hiking) club based out of Norfolk County.. We’re dedicated to exploring and celebrating the region’s trail networks and fostering a fun, supportive community.
We are 100% inclusive; everyone is welcome. We offer flexible pacing and options to suit different abilities (including hiking). Drop in and try a run, no membership required.

When: Thursdays 6:30-7:30 p.m. & Sundays 8:30-9:30 a.m.

What to expect
The trail club meets twice a week, but members are encouraged to connect with each other to arrange self-directed runs at any time. Routes will be shared in advance via our Rest Day newsletter, Strava club, and Facebook group. Everyone is welcome. Group runs are designed for every pace and experience level. No drop means no one is left behind, but alternate routes will be provided for those who want to extend or shorten their experience. Pre-run drinks and snacks will be provided and post-run socials are encouraged.
Thursday Workouts
Join us for structured sessions designed to build stronger, more resilient runners by improving fitness, efficiency, and confidence at faster or harder efforts. These sessions will be led by ultramarathon coach, Calantha Elsby, and include intervals, hill repeats, or other quality efforts, with options to adjust intensity and duration for any ability level.
Don’t want to do the workout? No worries! We’ll share an alternative route for the same duration so we all finish at the same time.
Locations: Waterford, Simcoe, Port Dover, Turkey Point.
6:30 p.m. every Thursday starting in 2026
Sunday Long Runs
Long runs will range anywhere from 5km to 25+ km, with the possibility for two different groups (a longer and shorter group) depending on need. While we encourage everyone to run as a group, alternate routes will be provided for those who want to shorten or lengthen their run.
We’ll start at the same place and everyone is encouraged to meet up afterward for post-run snacks, drinks, and social time.
Locations: Turkey Point, Long Point Eco-Adventures, Backus Woods.
8:30 am. every Sunday
Upcoming Runs
Run dates, times, locations, and descriptions will be made available every Monday via our Facebook group,Strava club, weekly Rest Day newsletter (club edition), and on the website.
