About the Race

The Grit & Grind 5K may be short, but it’s anything but easy. This route delivers quick climbs, sharp descents, and technical turns that demand focus and reward precision. You’ll weave through Gatineau Park’s pine-lined singletrack and crest viewpoints that remind you why trail running hooks so many runners for life. Fast, gritty, and packed with character, it’s five kilometres of pure trail intensity.
