The race is always fun, but the portages are tough!
Best part is finishing.
I’ve done a lot of races and this is one I love the most.
Best race in Ontario.
The paddling community at this race is wonderful.
The NBMCA looks forward to hosting the exciting Mattawa River Canoe Race (MRCR) in 2024! We will not be hosting the event in 2023, as we are using this year to better plan and prepare for this exciting event. We plan to explore creative ideas in the spring this year with our partners (including the paddling community) to refresh our look at details such as event categories, dinner options and increasing our supporting resources. NBMCA looks forward to these discussions, as we ramp up to host the MRCR in 2024.
In the mean time, check out the highlights of the 2022 Race which saw the 1st place finishers completing the 64 km race in just over six hours.
Peter Braul of Collingwood and Oliver McMillan of London captured the Fastest Overall Time trophy, finishing with a time of 6:13:02, ahead of second place finisher Sebastien Courville of Golden Lake with a time of 6:27:35.
