Run Off the Grid 50K Trail Run

Ontario’s race with the smallest footprint.

Be a part of the first annual ‘Run Off-the-Grid’ trail run – Ontario’s greenest run offering some of the most breathtaking scenery the province has to offer.

New to trail running or long distance running? Take part in the “Learn to Trail Run”, which encourages participants to walk, jog or run the trails at your own pace. The focus is on ‘completion’ and not the time that it takes to get it done.

The race start/finish and all trails will be right here at Nature’s Harmony. Camping is available all weekend with a post-race dinner and after party celebration on Saturday evening, including bonfire, hot sauna and live accoustic entertainment. Bring your instruments!
