Adventure Routes Canada (ARC)

What is ARC?

Adventure Routes Canada (ARC)

Adventure Routes Canada (ARC), or Route Aventure Canada (RAC) in French, is an exciting new initiative by the Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada (MCC) that aims to map, enhance, and connect adventure riding routes across the country.

The Trails

ARC is a national effort to promote adventure motorcycling by leveraging existing routes and creating new ones to connect provinces and territories.

The routes created for the ARC will appeal to both on-road and off-road enthusiasts. The goal is for both types of riders to reach the same destination, but take different routes to get there.
