The Goldstick Ravine Loop is a 10 km jaunt that gets into the winding, rolling single track ravine trails in Goldstick Park. You can depend on beautiful single track forest trails in a hidden gem tucked between a major industrial centre and a residential community.
From Race HQ, Leg 3 runs North to trails paralleling the river, then South past the parking lot and West paralleling the Gold Bar park access road. Near 50th Street, we cross that access road (our only road crossing on route). Turning East to run back towards Goldbar park, we enter single track forest trails along the upper river bank. Some of these winding trails are part of winter cross-country ski training trails. Others are obviously too narrow, too steep or too log-covered for anything but trail runners. We think of you.
Leg 3 transitions from the loosely forested river bank of Gold Bar Park to the densely forested ravine bank of Goldstick Park. The single track trail wavers along the West side of Goldstrick ravine between top-of-the-bank residential and stream-crossing bridges, eventually reaching the Goldstick Checkpoint near the south end of the ravine.
From Goldstick Checkpoint, it’s back into forested single track, now heading generally North along the East side of the ravine. The course eventually drops down into Gold Bar Park and back to the Finish Line at Race HQ.
Whether you’re a Full Meal Deal Soloist, third runner in a Meal in 3 Courses Relay or you picked Leg 3 for your Single Leg Pick Your Poison Solo, this is where you Finish. Grab your well-deserved medal and tell your stories while you cheer in the people who finished behind you. See if you’re in time to watch the 5k Run/Walk/Roll event or the 3k Kids Race.
