2026 Fall Colours Pre Race Newsletter

The Fall Colours Run will be here before we know it and we wanted to send some event reminders. Please read through this entire email so that you're ready for your race! 

NEW FOR 2026:

The event is a TWO DAY event. Make sure you know which day you're racing on.

We'll have a FREE shuttle bus on Sunday, October 11th. It'll go from the OC Transpo Park N Ride at Trim Road, to the museum.

We'd added two challenge races to the Sunday schedule. You can do the 5K & 10K, or the 10K & 21.1K, if you're up for a little extra mileage.

Transfer Deadline: Tuesday, October 6th at 6pm: 

If you need to change any info related to your registration, please let us know before Tuesday, October 6th at 6pm. We won't be able to make any changes after that time, so be sure to reach out soon if you need anything.

We may have a few spots available for those who would prefer to register in person on October 10th but that is subject to availability, and we will not have registration available on Race Day. Signing up online guarantees your spot! Last year, we sold out of bibs before race day, so don't leave your registration to the last minute.

Orientation and Bib Pickup: 

You'll be able to pick up your bib at the Cumberland Museum on Saturday, October 10th, from 8am to noon. If you're racing on Sunday, you can also pick up your bib on Sunday, October 11th, starting at 7am.

If you want to do a bit of course recon, we encourage you to watch this virtual orientation. If anything is unclear or if you have more questions, you can email Adam@somersault.ca.

Getting to the Event:

There's plenty of parking at the Cumberland Heritage Museum, but we always recommend biking or carpooling to the event if you can.

There's also a free shuttle bus that will take you from the OC Transpo Park N Ride at Trim Road, to the Museum.

Free Race Photos!

Bring your smile, or your game face, and keep an eye out for our Race Photographers on Race Day. The photos are FREE for anyone who participates. 

You'll be able to see all the race photos at Photos.Somersault.ca, a few days after the race. 

When to Arrive:

We recommend showing up one hour before the race to find parking, get your bib, warm up, and make your way to the start line.
