Endurance Event Productions, the team behind popular Ontario running races such as the Georgina Marathon and Oakville Half-Marathon, is adding an exciting new race to its lineup in 2025. The Kawartha Sun Run, a half marathon, will take place on June 22, offering runners a scenic route through the heart of Ontario’s Kawartha Lakes region.
The race will kick off at Garnet Graham Beach Park in Fenelon Falls and follow the picturesque Victoria Rail Trailalong Cameron Lake. True to Endurance Event Productions’ reputation, the course is designed to be flat, fast, and perfect for personal bests—a great option for both seasoned runners and those new to the sport.
For co-race director Cindy Lewis-Caballero, the Kawartha Sun Run is about more than just racing.
“We are proud to be raising funds through this race for the Kawartha Lakes Food Source to give back to the community in a meaningful way” says co-race director Cindy Lewis-Caballero. “Putting a half-marathon race in the Kawartha region was appealing for us so we could offer runners east of the GTA and further north an event that has a family friendly vibe while appealing to faster runners on a flat course.”
The race aims to attract runners from across Ontario, many of whom may be visiting the area for the first time. Endurance Event Productions is known for selecting growing communities that are eager to host major events, boosting local tourism and contributing to the area’s economy.
“Running is an appealing sport for younger runners who are coming from hockey or soccer backgrounds and looking to try a longer distance” adds co-race director Sandie Orlando. “This is a perfect race venue for them to see what they’ve got.”
The flat course and friendly atmosphere are expected to attract a range of participants, from beginners to more competitive runners looking for a fast race day.
Registration for the Kawartha Sun Run will open at the end of November, with early bird pricing available for those eager to secure their spot.
