FESTIVAL STYLE VENUE!
Pack your tent and fill the cooler, again this year the race is going to be based out of Nature's Harmony Ecolodge, a spectacular 500 acre property just outside of Mattawa. The course will begin at the lodge, connect with the Voyageur Multi-Use Trail System (VMUTS), make a short leg through Downtown Mattawa (long course only), before returning along the VMUTS trails to Nature's Harmony.
This venue will provide a great festival atmosphere, camping, food, outdoor showers, saunas and evening entertainment, so plan to stay the weekend!
