Welcome to the 8th Annual Power of 8 MTB in Support of MitoCanada!

NEW START/FINISH LINE!!

On Saturday, September 9, 2023, you will start/finish at the beautiful Buffalo Pound Visitor Centre!

The Power of 8 MTB's goal is to bring riders (new/old) together to raise awareness and funds for Mitochondrial Disease, while riding through beautiful Buffalo Pound Provincial Park for a charity close to my heart - MitoCanada .

All of the proceeds from the event go to MitoCanada.

A HUGE thank you to our riders and sponsors, in the past 7 years we have donated over $19,000 to MitoCanada!

What is Mitochondria? Every human on the planet is fueled by trillions of tiny powerhouses called mitochondria. Present in almost every cell in our bodies, these microscopic energy generators keep our hearts pumping, lungs breathing and pedals spinning.

Mitochondrial disease can affect anyone of any age at any time. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, Cancers, blindness and countless other conditions are attributable to mitochondrial disease. There is no cure and few effective treatments.

What is MitoCanada? MitoCanada is creating a world where all lives are powered by healthy mitochondria.

Established in 2010, by a group of passionate parents, the foundation is now the united voice of Canadians living with, or at risk of developing, mitochondrial disease. Together with you, our collective energy is reducing the devastating impact of mitochondrial disease.

Thank you in advance for spending your day with us, as we're on this trail together!
