The race has expanded to 2 days this year and will be held on October 7th and 8th. Last year was a good turn out with approx. 165 sleds and 300-400 entries. If your looking for a good grass race in western Canada, this is the one to attend. For more details follow the SSRA link on my website or visit dtsnowriders.com The local club puts a lot of effort into the event.
FYI - Eckville is located just west of Red Deer about half way between Calgary and Edmonton.
