The Oak Ridges Trail Association (ORTA) is thrilled to announce the return of the Oak Ridges Moraine Adventure Relay on Saturday, June 13, 2026—an unforgettable multisport challenge that combines endurance, teamwork, and environmental stewardship.
The Adventure Relay is an epic one-day adventure race across one of Ontario’s most ecologically and culturally significant landscapes. By participating, athletes and volunteers help ORTA fulfill its vision to develop a trail that fosters appreciation and respect for the ecological, cultural, and scenic integrity of the Moraine, preserving its natural state for future generations.
Two Ways to Join the Challenge:
- Full Relay: ~160 km across 14 stages, including a two-person canoe leg, with teams of up to 15 participants.
- Half Relay: ~90 km across 7 stages, excluding the canoe leg with teams of up to 7 participants.
The relay welcomes competitive athletes and adventure enthusiasts alike. The 2026 relay marks the 15th anniversary of this iconic event, expected to be our biggest yet—drawing 250–400 attendees, including racers, volunteers, and supporters united by a love for nature and fitness.
“The Adventure Relay is more than a race —it’s a celebration of teamwork, endurance, and the natural beauty of the Moraine,” said Karen Graham, President of ORTA. “Every registration helps maintain and protect the Oak Ridges Trail for the community to enjoy everyday.”
Registration is now open!
