Escape the Hooved Man: 10th Annual Fat Tire Bike Adventure - February 14-16, 2026

The Escape the Hooved Man adventure returns for its 10th edition, inviting YOU to tackle this thrilling challenge. Experience an unforgettable adventure at Aski Holistic Adventures, a family-operated, off-grid lodge situated in the heart of the Saskatchewan River Delta.

10th Anniversary Celebration

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the event! What started as a small gathering of friends has grown into one of the most anticipated winter bike events in northern Saskatchewan — and this year, we want you to be part of it!

Event Details:

• Date: February 14-16, 2026

• Time: Meet at the Vee Trail Parking Location at 12:00 p.m. (Don’t miss the turn along HW123 — if you start seeing signs for 50km, you’ve gone too far!)

• From there, we’ll load up your gear and you can ride 16 km to our remote, off-grid lodge, enjoy a rest, a hearty meal, and a chance to hear the famous Hooved Man story—an experience you won’t soon forget.

At night, the real adventure begins! The Escape the Hooved Man race will start around 7-8 p.m., with racers sent off in timed intervals. The course is 30 km of amazingly groomed trails through the wilderness—do you have what it takes to survive the Hooved Man and finish strong?

Prizes will be awarded to all finishers, generously sponsored by Outterlimits, Saskmade, and Doug's Spoke N Sport, along with the true glory of escaping the mysterious Hooved Man and completing the race in one piece!

Sunday is a leisurely day where you have the freedom to bike, enjoy the sauna, or explore as much as you like! There are many trails to discover, and the highlight is the incredible deep conversations. Monday marks the day of departure, featuring a pleasant 16km ride back to your vehicles.
