North Bay Road Race

North Bay Road Race : North Bay, ON

The event takes place in North Bay, Ontario, with start and finish near the Heritage Carousels at 230 Memorial Drive, across from the marina. All races are out-and-back and use the Lake Nipissing waterfront and the Kate Pace Way multi-use pathway.

Course changes implemented for 2025 made parts of the route flatter and fully paved. The half marathon route continues along the Kate Pace Way, Booth Road and Birchs Road toward Callander. Packet pickup is available the day before and on race day; the Friday early pickup location is listed as TBD.

YMCA Northeastern Ontario is the event charity partner. Each registration includes an automatic donation to the YMCA's Fill the Bus campaign to help send kids to camp. Registrations are non-refundable; transfers are permitted for a $1.95 fee until September 11.

Municipal parking is available on Memorial; overflow parking is near Rona, and a large Oak Street lot is accessible via a pedestrian tunnel.
