Report

Kristian Andres and Mikhail Gerylo ran the Mantario Trail from south to north June 19 2020 in 8:13:48 unsupported.  The trail is mostly on Canadian Shield,  Boreal forest and boggy marshland.  It is the classic Manitoba thru-hiking trail which can be difficult to navigate, can be very overgrown with some scrambling and the granite slabs are slick when wet.  HIGHLY recommend scouting the trail beforehand and picking the appropriate weather to attempt the effort.  It is a lot slower moving than one would expect and more climbing than is common in Manitoba.  We had just shy of 1500m elevation gain.
