What the HELL.

We’re proud to announce that Castelli is back as the presenting sponsor of the Hell of the North, and this year we’re bringing the event to an incredible new venue - Trail Hub in Uxbridge will host the 17th anniversary edition of this legendary race.

Sunday May 10th, 2026

For nearly four decades, the Hell of the North has built a reputation as one of the most unique and challenging off-road events anywhere. And for this spring edition, we’re raising the bar once again.

Expect 100 kilometres of incredible dirt roads, rail trails, punchy climbs, and wild off-road sectors that will test your fitness, bike handling, and determination. If you love adventure, suffering, and epic days on the bike, this one is for you.

This year will also feature another brand new fan-friendly CX-style finish, designed by Cowbell CX organizer and 2017 HOTN Champion Nathan Chown, bringing the action right to the crowd.

With Trail Hub as our host venue, riders and spectators will experience an amazing atmosphere at one of Ontario’s premier cycling destinations.

And with Castelli onsite, riders can expect:

• Exclusive Castelli product showcase
• Draw prizes
• Podium gifts
• A truly world-class cycling vibe

Bike choice matters.
Cyclocross or mountain bikes are strongly recommended. There are gnarly sectors where you may need to dismount and run, so MTB shoes and pedals will make your life easier. Road bikes are not recommended.

An event with this much history deserves to be shared. Bring your teammates, your training partners, and your friends. We offer group discount codes for teams and clubs of six or more riders.
