Come be a part of Northern Ontario’s longest, toughest and most remote trail run! Enjoy breathtaking scenery of the Laurentain Mountains in the peak of the autumn colours.
There are no roads and no pavement. The course is 100% trail and completely remote. It is you, your footsteps and the quiet of the wilderness. Are you ready to break away from the Grid?
Hike option available for the 12.5 km and 25 km.
