Run Off-the-Grid

Run Off-the-Grid takes place on September 25, 2027 in Mattawan, Ontario, at 574 Snake Creek Road. The event offers multiple distances run on a 12.5 km loop course that is entirely on trail with no roads or pavement.

The course includes single track sections, old forest logging roads, rolling hills, steep climbs, rocky technical sections, creek crossings, a mud bog, and a gravel pit with a sandy dune descent. Each loop is run in the opposite direction on successive laps. A hike option is available for the 12.5K and 25K distances.

Distances:

• 50K
• 50K Relay
• 25K
• 12.5K

The event supports local and charitable initiatives: $5 from each registration is donated to the Mattawa Food Bank, there is an on-site collection bin for used shoes to support Soles4Souls in partnership with Bioped Footcare (North Bay), and remaining proceeds are reinvested into Nature's Harmony Ecolodge.

A post-race meal is provided by gd2go catering with choices of harvest chicken stew or curried lentil soup, served with buns, pasta salad, and leafy green salad; vegan and gluten-free options are available. Participants are asked to bring their own dishes and cutlery as disposable options will not be provided. Additional meal tickets can be purchased during registration.

On-site accommodations and camping are available at Nature's Harmony including log cabins, yurts, geodesic domes, glamping, and camping with no hydro hookups. Camping fee is $20 per person per night; children of race participants are free. Amenities include compost toilets, eco-showers, a hot sauna, group fire pit areas, swimming in the bay, and a play area for children.
