Grit & Grind Trail Race: Camp Fortune Edition

The event takes place at Camp Fortune in Gatineau Park on Sunday September 6, 2026. It offers multiple distances including a new 20 km for 2026, 10 km, 5 km and a 2 km kids race for ages 7 to 12.

The 20 km is two loops at Camp Fortune and is designated as a UTMB Index race in the 20 km category. The UTMB Index is a performance based score used to assess global trail runner rankings and is calculated from results in designated race categories.

Registration includes a commemorative medal unless choosing the Green Bib, a personalized race bib, professional chip timing with results, and post race snacks and beverages. Optional add ons include a technical race shirt and an iTab ribbon hanger.

The Green Bib option does not include a medal and directs a portion of the registration fee to Sauvetage Bénévole Outaouais Ottawa Volunteer Search and Rescue. That organization provides volunteer search and rescue services, public safety education programs, and assistance to communities during emergencies.

Routes are listed as subject to change. For safety, headphones and earbuds are not permitted on course. The event is not suitable for strollers or mobility devices. Race bib pickup is available at Euro Sports and at Camp Fortune. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
