Murphy’s Mission

Saturday November 7, 2026

at Christie Lake Conservation Area

This event is held in honour of Murphy, Steeltown Canicross' first shelter dog that we took on a canicross group run. From there more than 300 dogs have been taken out on canicross runs every Saturday by Steeltown Canicross members over the last two years.

Please read race FAQ and registration policies before registering.

Please note, we have a no refund policy. We encourage you to purchase the Race Roster Enhanced Refund Protection Program in the case that you cannot attend the event due to unforeseen circumstances. Purchasers of the refund protection program will be refunded the registration cost of an otherwise non-refundable, unused registration, less the cost of the RRERPP fee.
