The North Bay Road Race, held in Northern Ontario, offers premier road running events with distances including 5K, 10K, and a half marathon. The courses are scenic and mostly flat, featuring routes along the Lake Nipissing waterfront and the paved Kate Pace Way multi-use pathway. The 2025 race includes an improved, fully paved half marathon course that extends through Booth Road, Birchs Road, and toward Callander.
A 1-mile kids' race is also part of the event, welcoming children of all ages. The race supports local charities, notably the YMCA North Bay's "Fill The Bus" campaign, helping send kids to camp. The event is organized by runners for runners, fostering a welcoming and motivating atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
