Now entering its 23rd year, the Suntrail Special is the most affordable, easiest to get to, most fun and laid back event you could possibly be part of.
The good folks at Suntrail Source for Adventure are celebrating their 23rd anniversary in 2018 and have been supporting the Bruce Ski Club and supplying great prizes for this race since it’s inception.

From the late 70s through 90s the club held events like the Colpoy’s Loppet, the Kraemer Cup as well as the forerunner of the Suntrail Special, The Sawmill Special. What began as a no frills event is now an extremely popular and professionally organized race on the Southern Ontario calendar, bringing skiers from all over the province to enjoy the Sawmill Nordic Centre trails.
