The Whole Enchilada Trail Race has always been about more than the distance on the course. It’s about showing up, sharing the trail, and creating an event that feels as welcoming as it is challenging.
In 2026, the race enters a new chapter. We’re proud to introduce The Whole Enchilada Trail Race, presented by Salomon, a partnership that reflects the growth of the event while staying rooted in the community values that have shaped it from the beginning.
Exciting Race Future
Partnering with Salomon is a natural next step for The Whole Enchilada. As a leader in the trail running space, Salomon is a brand we already work closely with, carrying their shoes and hydration vests on site. Their focus on performance, durability, and time spent on real terrain aligns seamlessly with the demands of The Whole Enchilada course.
More importantly, Salomon understands trail culture. Not as a trend, but as a long-standing commitment to athletes, communities, and the places they run.
“Salomon Canada’s support of The Whole Enchilada Trail Race fuels more than just the race, it fuels the passion of our trail running community. We’re thrilled to partner with a brand that shares our dedication to performance, exploration, and respect for the outdoors.”
– Chris Williams, Green Newton Adventures. Green Newton Adventures.
Salomon Puts Community First
From Salomon’s side, the appeal of The Whole Enchilada lies in its community-first approach. As a family-run, all-level inclusive event, the race reflects the kind of grassroots trail culture that continues to shape the sport in meaningful ways.
This partnership is about supporting a race that prioritizes connection, accessibility, and respect for the trails.
“The Trail Hub and The Whole Enchilada capture the spirit of trail running in Ontario… authentic, welcoming, and built by people who truly love the sport. We’re proud to partner with Green Newton and be part of this special race in 2026.”
– Eric Hong, Field Marketing Specialist – Salomon
What to Expect on Race Day
On race day, Salomon will be present on site with brand ambassadors running the course alongside participants, as well as in our vendor area, where runners can connect with the brand and explore product offerings.
Runners preparing for race day can also find Salomon trail running shoes designed for technical terrain and long days on the trail available through The Bike Shop at Trail Hub, offering a convenient way to get properly fitted and race-ready with footwear built for the demands of The Whole Enchilada course.
The core of the event remains unchanged. Same trails, same spirit, same focus on the experience. The partnership simply reinforces what already exists and supports the continued growth of the race in a thoughtful way.
Looking Ahead
As The Whole Enchilada Trail Race, presented by Salomon, returns on June 20, 2026, we’re excited to welcome runners, volunteers, and supporters to another year on the trails.
This partnership marks a proud moment for the race and the community behind it, one built on trust, shared values, and a love of time spent outdoors.
