Salomon Toboggan Run : Head of Saint Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
The Salomon Toboggan Run is a Backyard Ultra format event held on January 16, 2027, at 15 Station Road in Head of Saint Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The event uses a repeated loop structure with a maximum of ten loops.
The standard loop is 5.8 km and combines multiple trail types:
- 5.8 km total loop length
- 2.0 km rail trail
- 1.8 km logging road
- 1.0 km ATV trail
- 1.0 km single track
Each lap includes about 150 m of ascent and descent. Participants must complete each loop within one hour; failing to finish a loop within the hour ends that runner's race. If multiple runners remain for the final lap, the last lap is used to determine the winner.
The course includes rail trail, ATV trails, logging road and single track. The organizers have rented the ATV Clubhouse to provide indoor washrooms and shelter for clothing and food throughout the day. The event is intended to proceed in poor trail conditions; it may be rescheduled only if roads are unsafe or temperatures are extreme.
The event is a fundraiser for the St. Margarets Bay Food Bank and the Safety Minded ATV Association; attendees are asked to bring non perishable food items for donation. Registration includes draw prize eligibility, aid station food, hot chocolate and homemade cookies. The entry fee listed is CA$67.05. A toboggan is included with registration and participants must be at least 18 years old. No refunds or deferrals except as permitted for volunteers. Transfers of entries are allowed. Dogs are not allowed on the course. The event does not provide disposable cups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
