The Bruce Peninsula Multisport Race is a multisport race with no navigational component, held on the Bruce Peninsula since 2011:[1]. Racers follow a marked course on a combination of private and public land and race in multiple stages of paddling, mountain biking and trail running. The course is announced only to the racers on the morning of the race[2], is five stages long and approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) in length, and can be done solo, in teams of two, or as a relay race. There is also a sprint distance which is typically 25 kilometres (16 mi) in length, as well as a children's race that takes place concurrent with the full distance[3]. The event takes place annually on the second weekend in August and is based out of Wiarton, in Ontario, Canada.

The race is a qualifying stop on Adventure Racing Ontario's points series, which is a schedule of team-based adventure sport events taking place in the province of Ontario.[4]

The race was also featured on the final episode of season 3 of the TV show Boundless.[5]
