North Bay Road Race

The North Bay Road Race is a premier running event held in Northern Ontario, featuring distances of 5k, 10k, and a half marathon, along with a 1-mile kids' race. The courses showcase scenic routes along Lake Nipissing's waterfront and the paved, flat Kate Pace Way multi-use pathway, with improvements made for 2025 to create a flatter, streamlined experience. The event is designed for runners of all levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes.

It also supports local charities, including the YMCA North Bay's "Fill The Bus" campaign, helping send kids to camp. The race fosters a community atmosphere with a focus on fun, fitness, and giving back. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
