We’ve officially closed the books on our 20th anniversary race — and what a year it was!

Today, our organizing committee proudly presented a donation of $89,567 to the HSN Foundation in support of cancer care.

A huge THANK YOU to the more than 2000 participants, 300+ volunteers and 20+ businesses what made the 20th anniversary of the event the best year yet.

Stay tuned — SudburyROCKS!!! 2026 is coming soon. Registration coming soon!

RUN OFF THE GRID 2025 -

Magical as always. This year, Lesley and I escaped to celebrate our anniversary in the best possible way - to support each other in pursuit of our goals.

We ran together, and the pace we held was perfect for Lesley to push herself, and also the exact pace I need to hold next weekend for BB Backyard Ultra. Perfectly symbiotic - two people achieving something neither of us could have done on our own. And I absolutely love watching Lesley push her limits and get after it. Love you, babe xoxo.

This was my 6th year in a row running ROTG, and I fall more in love with it every year. Thank you to Jennifer Demille and the entire Nature's Harmony Ecolodge team - for the magical vibes and the spectacular trails, which cannot be accomplished without months of dedicated hard work, and a love that is felt by all of us. Thank you.
My heart is full, and I'm feeling confident going into BBBU. Winning combination.

Checked one thing off my life goals list yesterday.

The Run Off The Grid trail race in Mattawa has been one I’ve wanted to do for over 10 years. So glad I made the 25k my fall goal!
Such a special race, held at an eco resort, with so much care put into the organizing. Every runner on course was so supportive, I love the trail racing community.
The 12.7k course includes 3 water crossings, a big mud pit, and a gnarly rock climb with a rope. Tons of super long climbs played to my strengths.
The post race catered vegan meal, craft beer, and SAUNA was the best ever (food for Neil, sauna for me). I’ll never say no to anything that includes a sauna!
I’m super happy with this one! I felt strong and in control, and negative split the second lap. All that training on Linton and Crowley set me up for a great race.
Thanks to Neil Phipps and Bean for crewing me! My nutrition was fully dialed in thanks to them.
