A couple of updates for the 2026 Voyageur Course as we head into warmer weather.

1. Due to increased cost and uncertainty about the availability of the building, the start/finish line has been moved from Carlton High School to the pavilion in the center of Carlton where the Munger crosses. (This is the same place that the Curnow finishes). This does mean no showers, but also fewer road crossings.

2. We are moving the turnaround farther into Fairmont Park. This is will not be a huge change in distance. But it will make the aid station more accessible and will make the portapotty much closer! Overall the distance will remain about the same.

Also new this year: Remember there is a t-shirt deadline for both races: June 20th for Curnow and and July 4th for Voyageur. Register before these dates to guarantee a t-shirt!

All of the info can be found at our website. Feel free to reach out with any questions. And don't forget about our volunteer race discounts!
