Each 7km loop contains 240m of elevation.

Every finisher will receive a medal, however in order to keep registration costs low and reduce our footprint, there is no additional swag included. We will have a very limited number of Look Out Trail Race hats available for purchase during registration.

NOTE: This is a cup-free/waste-free event - in order to lower the risk of litter on-course, please bring a collapsible cup or water bottle for re-filling at aid stations. Hold on to your nutrition packaging until an aid station - we will sort and recycle all waste.

Look Out Trail Race is proudly presented by North Bay Road Race.

Location

Our host location for the Look Out Trail Race are the Nipissing University/Canadore College Trails. Our course has everything - exposed Canadian shield, rocky technical sections, short steep hills, and views!

Pass by the Look Out tower and stop to catch your breath with the best view of the city - then keep on running toward the epic Duchesnay Falls.

The course is a 7km loop - choose from 1, 2, or 3 loops for our premiere distance: The Trail Half Marathon presented by North Bay Physiotherapy.

Hills

There are a number of short but steep uphills. Depending on condition, there may be mild scrambling involved.



Technicality

The course is technical pretty much throughout. Expect rocks and roots. Updated trail conditions will be posted closed to race day.
