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 exact routing of the course is announced only to the racers on the morning of the race,[2] and is typically five stages long and approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) in length. The long course can be done solo, in teams of two, or as a relay race. There is also a shorter 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] In 2024 a sprint distance was added and the long course discontinued.[4] The event takes place annually on the second weekend in August and is based out of Wiarton, in Ontario, Canada.

The 2020 race was canceled by organizers due to the COVID-19 pandemic with registrants given their choice of a credit for a future event or a partial refund. The race was also featured on the final episode of season 3 of the TV show Boundless.[6]
