RACE HARD. HANG OUT HARDER!
Welcome to The Salty Marie Trails Fest – where the ride is wild, the vibes are high, and the good times roll all weekend long. Now in its third year, this celebration of all things trail is bigger, better, and saltier than ever.
Hosted at the legendary Hiawatha Highlands in Sault Ste. Marie, The Salty Marie is your chance to experience the city’s growing trail scene – whether you're here to race, cruise, cheer, or chill.
This isn’t just for the podium-chasers. It’s for weekend warriors, casual cruisers, and trail-loving families too. From epic races to scenic rides, tasty eats from local food vendors, cold drinks, cool gear, and all-around great energy – there’s something for everyone at the arena.
PLUS – something big is coming. We’re talking ultra big. A new challenge is hitting the trails this year… but we’re keeping it under wraps just a little longer. Stay tuned.
Come for the trails. Stay for the party.
Let’s get salty.

DECISIONS...DECISIONS...
What race should I choose? A definite dill-emma! A great way to choose an event is to pick a distance that is matches (or a bit further if you are looking for a challenge) your longest ride to date.
Can you ride 7KM? The Low Sodium 10KM is for you! How about 18KM? The Saline Short 25KM in a great opportunity to push those limits. Never ridden 50KM before but you have logged a 35KM ride and are up for a challenge? Sign up for that Big Pickle!
***Note for parents: If your child has participated in the Sault Cycling Club group KSS (Kids Shredding Singletrack), it’s likely they have already ridden all trails included in The Low Sodium 10KM race!
What should my riding level be? There's no need to be a seasoned shredder to take on our events. The races don’t include any mandatory drops or jumps and there will be “B lines” on the course for some harder sections. It's important to remember that it is always an option to get off your bike and walk if you are unsure. Caution signs will be posted on tougher sections so you can choose how to proceed.
What kind of bike should I ride? A mountain bike (hardtail or full suspension) or a fat bike are required. Single speeds are always welcome!
