Join us for 5th Annual Rally For Kids in support of Camp Alexo!
Enjoy a day of OHV touring on the historic renewed portion of the Rail Trail in the heart of David Thompson Country. This is a family friendly OHV trail, so load up and head out! This event goes RAIN OR SHINE, and is open to all outdoor OHV enthusiasts. Inexperienced riders may encounter some challenges on this trail.
The event is a 50km poker run starting in Nordegg to Saunders and ending at Camp Alexo. The Rally For Kids Poker Run is restricted to off-highway vehicles only (quads, side-by-sides and dirt bikes). Participants are responsible to ensure they have the appropriate OHV registration and insurance.
It should be noted that this trail is a family-friendly trail. It is not for extreme OHV enthusiasts, but rather for riders looking for a pleasant off-road experience in beautiful David Thompson Country. Trail may be subject to challenges in the event of heavy rain.
All proceeds raised will support Camp Alexo in its efforts to maintain facilities and operations for children and families from throughout central Alberta.
