The Pure Grit Trail Race is an annual event held at the Sawmill Trails in Hepworth, Ontario. This competition is part of the OUTRace Trail Series, with proceeds supporting Georgian Bay Nordic, a youth cross-country ski race team. The event has a total entry cap of 250 participants.
Participants can select from several race options:
- 2.5 km (for ages 12 and under)
- 5 km
- 7.5 km
- 15 km (consisting of two laps)
- 30 km (consisting of four laps)
- 6-Hour challenge
In the 6-Hour event, the winner is determined by the participant who completes the most full laps within the six-hour time limit. For the 2.5 km youth race, participants aged 6 and under must be accompanied by an adult runner.
Timing services are provided by Timing Shack using chip technology. Awards are given to the top three runners in each category, and prizes for the 15 km, 30 km, and 6-Hour races are presented following their conclusion. All competitors are also eligible for various draw prizes. Registration for the event closes on April 30, 2026, and the organization maintains a no-refund policy.
