SAVE THE DATE — JULY 17–18, 2027

Something BIG is coming to the province!

Over the summer, Endurance Running NL (the team behind the Paradise Backyard Ultra, Pearlgate Enduro, and the Fill The Shelves events), has been working with the Newfoundland T'Railway Council toward bringing Newfoundland & Labrador its first 100-mile ultramarathon finisher's BELT BUCKLE!

100 MILES. ONE HISTORIC TRAILWAY. ONE EPIC CHALLENGE.

Introducing the NL TRAILWAY 100 — a 100-mile journey along the historic Newfoundland T'Railway, starting in Clarenville and finishing in Holyrood.

You don't have to run 100 miles to be part of the original event! We're planning three race distances:

- 50K Ultra — Clarenville to Arnold's Cove area
- 100K Ultra — Clarenville to Long Harbour area
- 100 Mile Ultra — Clarenville to Holyrood

All three distances are planned to start together in Clarenville, giving runners an opportunity to experience the beauty, history, and communities connected by the Newfoundland T'Railway.

MORE THAN JUST A RACE
Our vision is to create an event that celebrates the history of the Trailway, showcases the communities along its route, and gives back to this incredible recreational resource.

All event proceeds will go to the NL Trailway Council, supporting its efforts to improve Trailway access in communities along the route.

We're still working through planning, logistics, and community partnerships, but we're excited to share what's coming!

Mark your calendars for July 17–18, 2027!

More details, including registration information, will be announced as plans are finalized.

161 KM. COUNTLESS STORIES. ONE TRAILWAY.

🥫🏃 **INTRODUCING FILL THE SHELVES 4!** 🏃🥫

The team behind Paradise Backyard Ultra, through our parent non-profit **Endurance Running NL**, is excited to bring you a brand-new community endurance event this fall!

📅 **Saturday, November 7**
⏰ **10:00 AM**
📍 **Neil’s Pond, Paradise**
⏱️ **4 Hours**
🔄 **~1.8 km per loop**
❤️ **Supporting the CBS Paradise Community Food Bank**

**The challenge is simple: How many loops of Neil’s Pond can you complete in four hours?**

Run continuously. Run/walk. Take breaks. Walk the whole thing. Come out for a few loops or see just how far you can go.

**Runners and walkers of ALL abilities are welcome.**

🏆 Yes, there will be prizes for the participants who complete the **most loops**...

BUT we wanted to make this event about more than who can run the farthest.

🎟️ **EVERY LOOP YOU COMPLETE = ONE ENTRY FOR PRIZES!**

1 loop = 1 chance.
10 loops = 10 chances.
20 loops = 20 chances.

That means someone who comes out and completes **ONE LOOP can still go home with a prize!**

More loops = more chances — but **every loop counts.**

And that's really what **Fill the Shelves 4** is all about.

As we head toward the Christmas season, food banks face one of their busiest and most demanding times of the year. **Net proceeds and donations from this event will support the CBS Paradise Community Food Bank.** 🥫❤️

Come chase a distance goal. Walk with some friends. Challenge yourself for four hours. Or just come be part of the community and help us **FILL THE SHELVES!**

**4 HOURS. YOUR PACE. YOUR DISTANCE. EVERY LOOP COUNTS.**
