The Muskoka River X Classic (September 17 to 18, 2016) is the WORLD’S longest single day expedition paddling race. Teams or solos using kayaks, SUPs or canoes paddle two river systems, three lakes and 20 portages for a total of 130km in less than 24 hours.  

Muskoka River X Coureur des Bois (September 16 to 18, 2016) is even tougher and will challenge the most experienced expedition and marathon paddlers.  On day 1, the teams will traverse Alqonquin Park from east to west. After an overnight layover at Oxtongue, they will merge with the MRX Classic on Lake of Bays. Challenge yourself to travel 220km in 48 hours or less!
