Mansfield Outdoor Centre

A spring Ontario classic, put on by Substance Projects, Marathon (38 km) / 1/2 Marathon (19 km) distances

Mountain bike season starts with the H2i (Homage to Ice) at Mansfield Outdoor Centre. This event features sand-based trails dry and super fast - with conditions icy, snowy, or muddy… or as Dan Marshall (Substance Projects Race Organizer) likes to put it, “The Substance Projects 100% Weather Guarantee: We guarantee that 100% of the course will have weather.”

This year, the Weather Gods shone upon us as a pack of LapDogs ventured out onto the ½ marathon length course. Under sunny skies, and on close to mint trails (with a few icy patches), the Pack turned in a podium, a near-podium… along with some strong finishes.

A great start for the LDCC in 2026!
