About the Event

Embrace the raw, unpredictable spirit of winter at the Salomon Toboggan Run, a unique, multi-lap endurance challenge and fundraiser for the St. Margarets Bay Food Bank, on Saturday, January 17, 2026. This event adopts a bold "no cancellation for poor trails" policy, daring participants to tackle a 5.8k loop of rail trail, ATV path, logging road, and single track every hour on the hour from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a strict one-hour cutoff to continue. Runners must come prepared for anything—ice, deep snow, or cold mud—with gear like studded shoes or snowshoes, knowing they have access to the warm ATV Clubhouse for shelter and washrooms throughout the day.

More than a race, the January 17th event is a gritty, social endurance festival where camaraderie and resilience trump speed, culminating in a potential 6:00 PM sprint finish for the last runners standing. It's a true test of winter toughness and adaptability, offering a fun, low-pressure format to log miles, support vital community causes, and celebrate the hardcore joy of off-season trail running with like-minded adventurers.
