Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race 2026
Teams navigate from checkpoint to checkpoint on bike, foot and boat hoping to find the finish line.
The Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) is one of Canada’s longest-running and most iconic adventure races, bringing racers together for over 25 years on Vancouver Island. Each year, more than 900 participants take on a full day of trekking, mountain biking, paddling, navigation, and creative challenges across stunning west coast terrain.
With three course options, MOMAR is designed for everyone — from first-time adventure racers to experienced teams chasing the podium. All teams navigate using only a map and compass, choosing their own routes and testing both physical endurance and mental grit.
What truly sets MOMAR apart is the community. Expect an electric start line, supportive volunteers, and a finish line celebration that feels like a festival. MOMAR isn’t just a race — it’s an unforgettable adventure.
