2026 RUN OFF-THE-GRID

Are you ready to break away from the Grid?

Join us for one of Northern Ontario's most rugged, rewarding, and remote trail races - right in the heart of peak autumn colours! With no roads and no pavement, this course is 100% trail and completely off-the-grid. It's just you, your footsteps and the quiet of the wilderness.

The race features a 12.5 km loop that winds through diverse terrain — including single track sections, old forest logging roads, rolling hills, steep climbs, rocky technical sections, creek crossings, our famous mud bog and gravel pit with a sandy dune descent. Each loop is run in the opposite direction to keep the challenge fresh and dynamic!

What truly sets Run Off-the-Grid apart is its incredible community atmosphere. From the cheers of lapping runners on the trails to the post-race celebration at the finish line, this event has become a favourite in the trail running community — not just for the course, but for the camaraderie, connection, and shared love of the outdoors.

A hike option is also available for the 12.5K and 25K distances — perfect for those who want to soak in the journey without the race clock.

    Ready for a Challenge with a Twist of History?

    The NBMCA looks forward to hosting the exciting Mattawa River Canoe Race (MRCR).

    The 64 km Canoe/Kayak/SUP race is a demanding and challenging race. The race begins in North Bay and ends at Mattawa Island Conservation Area in the Town of Mattawa. The route follows lakes, rivers and has a few rapids. There are 12 portages along the route, which 5 are mandatory and the others are dependent on water levels and paddler ability and skill.

    The 13 km race is intended to be social, friendly and fun. The course is achievable for most paddlers with only one portage. This use to be for only families and youth, and we have opened it up and added a few categories.

    Fees include: registration, race management and safety, participant medal, and OMCKRA Insurance fees. If you are an OMCKRA member, you will be refunded $8.

    SHUTTLE - We don't have access to a canoe trailer this year. We will have a bus that shuttles people back to the start line to pick up their vehicles. Participants will have to return to the finish line to pick up their canoes. We will have staff/volunteers at the finish line until the last canoe is claimed.

    PFD's - As the race will be held in early spring PFD's will be mandatory to wear throughout the race. No exceptions.
