RUN OFF-THE-GRID

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.

What does the Run Off-the-Grid Support?

  • Local food bank – we feel it is important to give back to our local community and $5 from each registration is donated to our local Mattawa Food Bank. A collection box will also be available on race day for donations of non-perishable food items.
  • Greening Nipissing – proceeds from this event and 50% of camping fees will be donated to Greening Nipissing, a local charity that demonstrates, promotes and encourages environmentally-friendly practices within the community. The proceeds will be used by Greening Nipissing, in partnership with Nature’s Harmony, to fund an eco-project in the Mattawa area.
