Salty Dog Enduro

The 20^th Anniversary of the Salty Dog 6 Hour Enduro is currently a Go!

We are planning for a back to normal event. So dust off your bike, find a helmet and shoes, lube the chain and let’s get riding!

U15 and Pup events will happen on the Sunday as we have traditionally planned in past years.

Of course fun door prizing will be given out, home made apple pies, wood-dallions, along with prizing to be given out for the best Rider Costumes.

General COVID Safety protocols will be in place with our more spacious Salty Tent City, Bathroom & Parking areas, the bigger Ski Club BBQ area, and we will expect riders to respect the social space of others. Wearing a mask may be recommended when in large groups, tag zones or at the on-course aid stations. If you are experiencing any Flu or Cold like symptoms the week before Salty Dog, we request that you stay home.

The COVID Details: The 2022 Salty Dog will be held in accordance with the Public Health Orders of the Province of BC and Interior Health in force at the time of the event. These orders may include the requirement to produce proof of vaccination. If BC COVID-19 Safety Protocols change, and a fully Vaxxed event is required, and this excludes a rider, Salty Dog will not be offering refunds. If this does not work for you, we do have people looking for Salty Spots, please email saltydogenduro@gmail.com for information on how to swap spots, this is only being offered until March 31. After March 31 Salty Dog will not be offering further race entry swaps.

We will plan to follow all BC COVID protocols in place on May 1.  If the PHO recommendations in BC change drastically before May 1, please refer to the paragraph above. We will also revert to a Salty Dog U15 8ish km one lap individual loop, and a Salty Dog Main Event 35ish km one lap individual loop, the PUP will be a DIY volunteer run event. If and as needed our race loop maps will be updated and posted on our website. Fingers crossed the Salty 2022 will not have to go this way, as we are fully planning to race a back to normal Salty Dog this year!
