This annual event is an important part of our shared history and travels through a beautiful section of our area. Ideally, the renewed energy around this race will attract more participants - individuals, families, and volunteers in the years to come.
The Mattawa River Canoe Race is one of the most anticipated racing events of the year. Since the late 1970s, it has been referred to as the crown jewel on our racing circuit.
The race is always fun, but the portages are tough!
I’ve done a lot of races and this is one I love the most.
Best race in Ontario.
