3 DAYS OF OFF ROAD ACTION

AND A NEW LADIES TOUR!



The Ottawa Valley Rally is a heart-pounding, three-day trail ride explosion of off-road Enduro and Adventure/Dual Sport action, set in the rugged beauty of Barry’s Bay, ON, with Sunny Hill Resort as the perfect rider’s basecamp. Featuring endless single-track trails—with fresh routes added every year—this event delivers everything from flowing forest lines to technical terrain built for intermediate to advanced riders hungry for challenge.

Adventurers can chase epic dual-sport routes that seem to stretch on forever, conquering wild landscapes with every twist of the throttle. Beyond the trails, the weekend is packed with seminars, live entertainment, food vendors, a massive fireworks display, and exciting prizes and sponsor-backed draws—all amplified by the high-energy hype of Red Bull. With action from dawn to dark, the Ottawa Valley Rally is more than a ride—it’s an unforgettable off-road experience.

 

TRAIL RIDE FORMAT

Each day of the Ottawa Valley Rally delivers a fully immersive GPS-guided riding experience, built to challenge your skills and keep the adventure flowing from morning to evening. There are no paper arrows to follow—every rider navigates using prescribed GPS tracks, complete with clearly marked Easy and Hard options so you can choose your level of intensity as the terrain unfolds. The GPS files, provided as tracks and waypoints, are emailed to you a few days before the event so you have time to load them and get familiar with the route. And if tech isn’t your strong suit, the experienced Rally Connex staff will be on-site to help you install the files and get fully set up before wheels hit the dirt.

Out on the trails, you’ll never be left behind. A dedicated team of sweep riders supports the group throughout all three days, ensuring everyone stays safe, guided, and accounted for. To help keep you confidently on course, trail-ride signs will be placed at the entrances of single-track sections, confirming you’re heading down the right trail before you dive in. Riders will also receive basic paper maps via email and in printed form, giving you both a digital and physical reference to better understand where you are throughout the day and to visualize the overall layout of the route.

Strategically placed fuel stops and break areas are built into each route to keep you topped up, rested, and ready for more, giving you peace of mind that you won’t run out of gas and that help is never far away. From navigation to safety to comfort, every element of the ride format is designed to keep you rolling smoothly so you can focus on the thrill, the challenge, and the unforgettable adventure of the Ottawa Valley Rally.

 

OVR LADIES GUIDED RIDE

As part of OVR9, the legendary three-day off-road Enduro ride known for its challenging terrain, epic trail systems, and jaw-dropping scenic lookouts, we’re carving out something special just for the ladies.

SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 2026
Join us for a guided Ladies Dirt Bike Ride designed to empower, encourage, and push you—at your pace.

This ride features a thoughtfully curated main route that showcases a variety of terrain suitable for all skill levels, plus optional harder lines and challenges for those who want to turn the spice up a notch. Ride what feels good, challenge yourself when you’re ready, and cheer each other on every step of the way.

Leading the charge are experienced local riders and female guides:
Stephanie Yankovich
Laura Penwell
Rose Lantaigne

These women know the area, know the trails, and know how to create a supportive, confidence-boosting ride environment. Expect encouragement, trail tips, problem-solving, and plenty of high-fives along the way. And when the helmets come off?
Sunny Hill Resort is waiting with a pool, hot tub, and lake—perfect for soaking tired muscles, swapping trail stories, and relaxing with your riding crew.

This isn’t about being the fastest or the toughest.
It’s about showing up, riding strong, and supporting each other.
