Considered the first racing event of the season, KHA has been a part of the 100 Lap Sled Race since its inauguration in February of 2018.
Stefan Robinson, Executive Director with KHA, says, “We are happy to continue the tradition of this original racing event at the Speedway. It is a great way to start off the 2023 season. Between this, and the Rabbit Lake Winter Classic, we hope to continue to expand winter events throughout the Kenora area”
The event features a 100-lap race on the Speedway with Single Cylinder Snowmobiles, plus the added excitement of a Twin Cylinder Shootout beforehand.
The number of participants has more than doubled since 2019.
