Escape the Hooved Man — February 2026 Winter Series

Escape the Hooved Man — February 2026 Winter Series

10th Annual Fat Tire Bike Adventure

The Escape the Hooved Man returns for its 10th year, marking a decade of winter riding, storytelling, challenge, and community.

What began as a small gathering of friends has grown into one of the most anticipated winter fat bike adventures in northern Saskatchewan. Hosted by Aski Holistic Adventures, this off-grid experience invites riders to step into winter wilderness, disconnect from the digital world, and take part in a legendary night ride — with warmth, food, and shared stories waiting at the lodge. This is not just a race — it’s an invitation into our home and our way of life.

This February 2026, we’re offering three separate weekends of the same core Escape the Hooved Man experience. Choose the dates that work best for you.

10th Annual Event Schedule

Saturday Meet at the Vee Trail Parking Location at 12:00 p.m.(Don’t miss the turn along HW 123 — if you start seeing signs for 50 km, you’ve gone too far!)

From there, we’ll load your gear and you’ll ride 16 km by winter trail to our remote, off-grid lodge. Settle in, enjoy a hearty home-cooked meal, warm up, and gather to hear the famous Hooved Man story.

Night Ride: Challenge The Escape the Hooved Man night ride begins around 7–8 p.m., with riders sent off in timed intervals. The course is approximately 30 km of groomed wilderness trail, with a shorter loop option available.

Finishers receive prizes generously sponsored by Outterlimits, Bike Doctor, Ebs Adventures, and Doug’s Spoke N Sport, along with the true reward — escaping the Hooved Man.

Sunday A relaxed day to explore additional trails, enjoy the sauna, rest, and connect. These slower moments often lead to the deepest conversations and strongest connections.
