Event Details
2020 will mark the 28th annual occurrence of the event which saw its inaugural race take place in 1993. The race has grown steadily since its inception and once again we will offer your choice of 12K, 26K, 50K, and of course, our signature event, the Haliburton Forest 100 Miler.
The race takes place in the privately owned Haliburton Forest starting Saturday, September 12, 2020 and ending Sunday, September 13, 2020.
There is a certain primal beauty found along the trails at Haliburton Forest and the absolute best way to experience it is by foot as you run on the rugged trails. Heavily forested, hilly and filled with lakes and streams it represents nature at it’s best.
Camping and accommodations are available on site during the race. If full, local accommodation information can be found at www.myhaliburtonhighlands.com.

Event Details
During this year’s fall migration, you are invited to learn about the birds of the Land Between! Join us on Saturday September 26 at 8am at the Haliburton County Rail Trail (meeting at the end of Cowan Road/ Gould’s Crossing). This is a chance to get out in the field with experienced birders, and practice your identification skills. The session will be led by the Land Between staffer Xavier Tuson. While no prior birding experience is necessary, we encourage you to watch an “Intro to Birding” webinar beforehand to familiarize yourself with the basics – this will be featured on our website soon.
This event is open to all ages, but participants should be able to comfortably walk for about an hour. If you have mobility challenges, please contact us to let us know, and we would be happy to accommodate as needed.
We will be limiting the number of participants to ensure appropriate spacing in accordance with COVID-19 safety guidelines. Please register here: https://www.thelandbetween.ca/event/guided-birding-walk-2/ or by calling our office at (705) 457 1222.
The Fall Migration walks will take place in three locations across the Land Between, but just one within Haliburton County. See our schedule below.
Saturday September 26, 8am. Location: Haliburton Rail Trail (Haliburton, ON)
Wear comfortable shoes, and bring binoculars if you have them!
