Salomon Toboggan Run
About the race
This event won't be cancelled because of poor trail conditions, so come prepared. However, if it's silly stormy with bad roads or ridiculous temps like in 2023, we will certainly reschedule it.
This is a fundraiser for the St. Margarets Bay Food Bank and for the Safety Minded ATV Association. Please bring a few non-perishable food items to donate.
Registering means accepting possibly icy trails, snow, and cold mud. Come prepared with studded shoes, snowshoes, skis or hip waders, and bring lots of warm clothes to change into.
This format lets you log good mileage on rail trail, ATV trails, some logging road and single track, without pressure to complete the loop on time.
Venue and facilities
We have rented the ATV Clubhouse, so you have full access all day to indoor washrooms and shelter for your clothes and food.
Race format and schedule
Loops
- Starting at 9am, everyone has 1 hour to complete the 5.8k loop.
- If you finish loop 1 before 10am, you rest until the next loop starts at 10am, and so on every hour on the hour until 6pm.
- If you are over 1 hour for a loop, your race is done.
- If multiple people are still running at 6pm (the bell lap), it will be a sprint to the finish to declare the winner.
Bring your own cup
Please bring a drinking vessel, as most of our events have been cup-less for years now.
