Look Out! Trail Running is coming to North Bay!
Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or just starting your journey, there's a distance tailored perfectly to challenge you, with options including 7k, 14k, and our premiere Half-Marathon presented by North Bay Physiotherapy.
NEW: We have added a 2km Kid’s Race that will happen before the main event! This Kid’s Race will be un-timed and un-ranked, but packed with fun and challenge.
The trails wind through picturesque forests, across rolling dirt paths, and over rocky terrain, offering a technical course with a couple of exhilarating climbs. Remember that your hard work will be rewarded when you reach the summit of our Lookout Hill for a panoramic view of North Bay. Pause to catch your breath and marvel at the stunning Duchesnay Falls. This isn't just a race—it's an opportunity to connect with nature and celebrate your achievements against a backdrop of unparalleled beauty.
Join us at the Look Out Trail Race and unleash your inner trailblazer. Sign up now and prepare to conquer the heights!
Look Out Trail Race is proudly presented by North Bay Road Race.

The course is a 7k 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.
Post-Race
Stick around post-race to cheer on the other runners. Stay tuned for announcements about post-race food and drink options!
Our charity partner for Look Out Trail Race is Soles4Souls - At S4S, they turn unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunity, by keeping them from going to waste and putting them to good use – providing relief, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty.
We will be collecting used shoes of all types (not just running shoes) on race day and during packet pickup.
