The Weekend

2026 Veteran Trail Run

October 16-18, 2026 · Minden Off-Road Park, Minden, Ontario

What to expect

A three-day weekend, two days on the trail

One weekend a year, Veterans and the off-road community gather at Minden Off-Road Park for two days of trail riding, camaraderie, and fundraising in support of Veterans in need.

The event runs all weekend at Minden Off-Road Park, the same great location every year. Trails are available for every experience level, from first-timers to seasoned rock crawlers. Whether you're a Veteran, a Wheeler, or both, you'll find good lines, great company, and a cause worth showing up for.

Accommodations

Pick your own spot when you register

Serviced sites at the park are booked through the club on the registration form, first come first served — you'll see what's still available and pick it yourself, rather than asking and waiting to hear back.

  • Serviced sites from $50 a night, for the two nights of the event weekend
  • Maximum 6 guests per site, two-night minimum
  • Veteran accommodations are provided in shared accommodations, typically 2 per room. Arrangements can be made under special circumstances.
  • Your spot is held 72 hours while your e-transfer reaches us

Un-serviced camp sites are booked directly with Minden Off-Road Park, not through the registration form — as are any extra nights either side of the weekend.
