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.

    Experience Northern Ontario Trails This June

    Look Out! Trail racing - Northern Ontario style!

    Now open to registration for our 7km, 14km, Half Marathon, and Kid's Race distances!

    Held on the Duchesnay Falls/Campus trails in North Bay, Look Out is a challenging and picturesque course offering rocky singletrack, rolling doubletrack, and a couple of challenging climbs and a panoramic view of North Bay.

    The course is a 7km loop completed 1, 2, or three times. On each loop there is a fully-stocked aid station at 3.5km and at the start/finish. Bag drop is available for the full pit-stop experience.

    Each 7km loop contains 240m of elevation.

    Every finisher will receive a medal, however in order to keep registration costs low and reduce our footprint, there is no additional swag included. We will have a very limited number of Look Out Trail Race hats and mugs available for purchase during registration.

    NOTE: This is a cup-free/waste-free event - in order to lower the risk of litter on-course, please bring a collapsible cup or water bottle for re-filling at aid stations. Hold on to your nutrition packaging until an aid station - we will sort and recycle all waste.

    Look Out Trail Race is proudly presented by North Bay Road Race.
