Event date: August 18, 2013

Location: NEW LOCATION! NOVAR, 5 minutes north of Huntsville, Ontario, Canada

With big plans to grow the Grind into a weekend festival, it was important to find a location which would allow for this multi day event to happen. We have found such a place just 10 minutes north of Huntsville off of hwy 11. While preserving the beauty of racing in the Muskoka region, we have designed a course, while still being challengeing, will not be as 'white knuckled' as its predecessor. More details to come!
