Chapleau's Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race Returns

After nearly six years, Chapleau's Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race returns to the track.

While the event debuted in 2019, today marks the beginning of the second edition of the drag race - after attempts in 2020 and 2023 were called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a busy forest fire season, respectively - with Chapleau Mayor Ryan Bignucolo touting not just $45,000 in prizes, but lots of fun for the family.

Bignucolo highlights not just the community's support, but broader support.

Bignucolo notes there is also on-site camping available.

The Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race runs today through Sunday, at the Chapleau Airport.
