Welcome to the Trappers' Running Club web site and home of the Trapline Marathon. Labrador is a region full with community spirit and heritage. The Trapline Marathon events are run in honor of the many trappers that left North West River and trekked inland to tend to their trap lines each fall.

The event is unique, heritage oriented, a challenging run and great scenic views. Labrador is one of Canada's final frontiers. The freedom and cool temperatures has also led to numerous personal best times; very important for Boston!

The races are annual, on the Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend. The Friday night before there is a pasta dinner and social. Saturday there is a full marathon, half marathon and a 10k. Festivities start with a community gathering at the finish line and end with a banquet Saturday night.

The full marathon is providing 42.2 kilometers to reflect in solitude.

re-flect - verb - to think, ponder, or meditate: to reflect on one's accomplishments.
sol-i-tude - noun - the state of being or living alone; seclusion: to enjoy one's solitude.

To "Run Full Tilt" is a play on words. Trappers used small wooden structures to live in during their time on the trap line and they were called "tilts". The origins of "Full Tilt" means top speed and maximum energy, all appropriate for marathon running!

The Trappers Running Club is proud to present the Destination Labrador Trapline Marathon, Half Marathon and Air Labrador 10k.
