Event summary

Get ready for a thrilling outdoor experience at the Salomon Toboggan Run in Halifax on Saturday, January 17, 2026! This unique event is not for the faint of heart, as participants will tackle a challenging 5.8-kilometer loop that winds through a variety of terrains, including rail trails, logging roads, and single-track paths. Starting at 9 AM, runners have one hour to complete each loop, with the opportunity to continue racing hourly until 6 PM. Whether you’re navigating icy trails, trudging through the snow, or conquering cold mud, this event promises camaraderie and excitement.

Not only is the Salomon Toboggan Run a test of endurance, but it's also a fantastic way to support the St. Margarets Bay Food Bank and the Safety Minded ATV Association. With access to the ATV Clubhouse for warmth and shelter throughout the day, participants can enjoy the fun atmosphere while tackling the course's 150 meters of ascent and descent per lap. Bring your own drinking vessel, and prepare for a day of adventure that will push your limits while connecting with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Don’t miss this chance to embrace the cold and challenge yourself in the spirit of community and fitness!

Organiser's Description

Salomon Toboggan Run!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!Fundraiser for the St. Margarets Bay Food Bank and for the Safety Minded ATV Association!If you choose to register, you are basically saying:"I am tough AND I am totally okay with potentially sketchy icy trails, wading through snow, and slogging through cold mud (cuz this is all possible). I know that this race won't be cancelled if the trails are in poor condition, but I am up for a challenge and will suck it up! I will just come prepared with studded shoes, or snowshoes, or skis, or hip waders...and lots of warm clothes to change into!" This is how it works: starting at 9am, everyone has 1 hour to complete the 5.8k loop. If you finish loop 1 before 10am, you get to sit, socialize, and rest until the next loop starts at 10am...and again and again, every hour on the hour until 6pm. If you are over 1 hour for a loop, your race is done...but if multiple people are still running at 6pm (the bell lap), it'll be a sprint to the finish to declare the winner!!This format is a super fun way to log some good mileage, with great people, on rail trail/ATV trails/some logging road/fun single track, all without any major pressure to complete the loop on time. We have rented the ATV Clubhouse, so you have full access all day to indoor washrooms and shelter for your clothes/food, etc! The course is made up of: 2k of rail trail, 1.8k of logging road, 1k of ATV trail, and 1k of single track with ~150m of ascent/descent per lap.
The Fine Print:No refunds, no deferrals (unless you volunteer) and no dogs allowed on the course.Transfers are allowed. Translation: If you can't make it, you can sell your spot to someone else.Most of our events are now "swag-less" (minus Keji and Capes) and have been "cup-less" for years now, so please bring a drinking vessel :)Thanks!
