Grit & Grind Trail Race

Dunrobin, Canada • 29 Jul 2026

Grit & Grind Trail Race: Dunrobin Edition

The event takes place on July 29, 2026 at Sheila McKee Park in Dunrobin. It is a marked trail race held on natural terrain rather than pavement.

Distances offered:

  • 5 km trail race
  • 2 km kids run for ages 5 to 12

The 5 km course is described as flat overall but includes roots, dirt, rocks, and uneven sections that require attention and careful footing. The 2 km kids run is designed for young runners who can follow the course independently; a parent or guardian may run alongside if needed.

Registration details include a commemorative medal unless the Green Bib option is selected, a personalized race bib for registrations before July 20, professional chip timing with results, and post-race snacks and beverages. Optional items include a technical shirt and an iTab ribbon hanger. The Green Bib option does not include a medal and directs a portion of the fee to the event charity partner, Camp Misquah, a non-profit summer residential camp for adults and youth with developmental disabilities in the Ottawa region.

Race bib pickup is arranged at Euro-Sports and at the park on event day. Routes are to be announced. For safety, the following are not permitted on course: headphones, hiking poles, and strollers. The event is not suitable for strollers or mobility devices. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
