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.
Please note: If you are an OMCKRA member, you will be refunded $8.
PLEASE NOTE: As the race will be held in early spring PFD's (the label must state that the PFD has been approved by Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard, Fisheries and Oceans Canada or any combination thereof) will be mandatory to wear throughout the race.

New date, new requirements
Please note: It is mandatory to wear your PFD throughout the race for everyone's safety. Because the race has moved from a mid-summer race to a spring race, we have made the decision to make wearing your PFD mandatory during the race. The water levels will be high and the water will be cold.
