Mines to Pines Trail Races
Mines to Pines takes place at Tiny Trails Campground in Minto, New Brunswick, on the Mountain Bike Minto trails around Grand Lake. The event is scheduled for Saturday July 25 and Sunday July 26 and presents a reimagined course that succeeds the Dark 50, retired after the 2025 season.All races and loops start and finish around the campfire at Tiny Trails Campground and follow a wooded ATV trail to a singletrack trailhead. The route moves through terrain shaped by the region's history of strip and pit coal mines and natural processes. Runners can expect roots and rocks, lakeside views, sharp and punchy hills, open stretches for speed, and clearly marked trails.
Distances:
- 10 km solo
- 50 km solo
- 60 km relay teams of 2 or 3
Included with registration are access to one aid station at Tiny Trails Campground and one water drop at the end of the ATV trail, crew access, a marked course, a three day trail pass to Mountain Bike Minto trails, a race registration gift to be announced, and shower and washroom access at Tiny Trails.
