Nature’s Harmony is one of the first accommodation providers in Ontario to obtain an eco-certification accreditation.  Nature’s Harmony has successfully completed Sustainable Travel International’s bronze level certification under the Sustainable Tourism Eco-Certification Program (“STEP”), which is an internationally recognized standard.  The bronze level certification is the first level in the process, which involved detailed documentation of Nature’s Harmony’s sustainability policies and procedures with review and approval by a 2nd party. 

The forest is white with a pure blanket of snow…  The Ski trails are just waiting to be groomed… The Snowshoe trails just needs to be marked… New guided “wild off-trail” snowshoeing is available… The Tube ramp has been improved and tested… the Pond has a new dam and is bigger and better – ice is forming…  The Sauna, oh the Sauna, has been completely renovated…

Winter is just waiting to unleash…

Last year our participants asked for a shorter loop and we introduced the 12K.  This year, many of our 25K participants expressed an interest in training for the 50K, but ‘wished’ there was something in between to help them get there.  You asked for it and we have listened!  We are introducing a 37K course for the 2012 Run Off-the-Grid.  This course will offer a stepping stone for those participants that want to a little longer distance or want to work towards the 50K legacy.  Registration will be open within the next couple of weeks.  Stay tuned.

Again this year, we will continue to focus on growth and the development of new sponsorships, which share our concerns and respect for the environment. 

If you are planning to register, please register early as registration numbers will drive more registration numbers. Early registration also helps us to plan for the event and approach sponsors.

If anyone is interested in volunteering or sponsoring the Run Off-the-Grid, please contact us directly.  All support is greatly appreciated!

For more information, please check out the Run Off-the-Grid event pages or stay up to date on recent developments and connect with other race participants on the Run Off-the-Grid Facebook group page.
