FarFetched Invitational

June 21, 2025 Canfield Woods Shelter, Mendon Ponds Park

The first key feature of the FarFetched Invitational is uncertainty. Each year will be a different, trail running based event. We'll provide some basic parameters, but details will be sparse until the designated Event Preparation Phase. The one thing it will never be is a traditional point-to-point foot race.The basic parameters for the 2025 FarFetched Invitational are as follows:

  1. The event will be on the trails of Mendon Ponds Park
  2. The event will last an hour

The second key feature of the FarFetched Invitational is that it serves as a point of reflection and celebration of the past year of events. As such, only participants and volunteers from the past 12 months of FarFetched events will be invited to participate. For the 2025 FarFetched Invitational, this includes:

  • 09/14/2024 - Ontario Summit Trail Races
  • 01/04/2025 - Frozen Assets Endurance Run
  • 01/18/2025 - Mrs. McCormick's Ice House
  • 02/02/2025 - Devil's Shadow Winter Trail Races
  • 03/08/2025 - Go Forth!
  • 03/22/2025 - Trail Running Film Festival
  • 06/01/2025 - The Mills Miles

Invitations will be sent via email with a unique URL that will bypass registration restrictions. Attempting to register without this link will result in the error message "Registration for this race is full." Contact the race director if you do not have a URL or otherwise have issues registering.

​The third key feature of the FarFetched Invitational is the post-event presentation of the Special AwardIt may not necessarily go to the swiftest of foot or the keenest of eye, so everyone has a shot at taking home the prize. During the ceremony, all participants will be invited to enjoy a fine selection of food and drink.

Cost for the event is $20, with the RunSignup fees being covered by FarFetched Enterprises.
