Salty Dog Enduro
May 13th – 15th, 2022
COVID-19 continues to provide us with a challenging time and we hope you are well, safe and healthy.
We are working our way through engaging stakeholders, updating event permits and establishing a COVID-19 Safety Protocol in compliance with Interior Health Authority, BC Centre for Disease Control & the Provincial Health Officer.
We will host the Salty Dog Enduro Events on May 13-15, 2022 and are currently planning to ensure our 20 year event will meet Interior Health BC guidelines and restrictions. The Pup & U15 events will run Saturday May 14, and Salty Dog Race will run Sunday May 15.
Provincial guidelines/restrictions around COVID-19 are fluid and as such we are event-planning to ensure the health and wellness of our riders, volunteers and community members is protected. Due to the uncertainty of BC Health Covid Guidelines, we are working towards a fully vaccinated event. Vaccine Passports will be required to pick up race packages for the 2022 event. If this precludes you from participating, please email saltydogenduro@gmail.com and we will offer you the spring of 2021 refund option, only prior to April 15, 2022. No refunds or deferrals will be issued after April 15, 2022.
With evolving requirements around receiving permits for outdoor events, we are moving forward with a Covid-19 friendly and exciting NEW race format. As such, we are currently planning on Changing it Up and will be celebrating 20 years of the Salty Dog Enduro with a NEW format which will allow space for evolving Interior Health BC event guidelines/restrictions.

The Salty Dog 6-Hour Enduro is one of the longest running mountain bike races in B.C. – Traditionally, it has been an event where you could ride solo or in a team of 2 for 6 hours on some of the best trails in Salmon Arm, B.C. Cyclists of all ages could join in the fun with the Salty Pup race, the 3-Hour Enduro, and the full 6-Hour Enduro. Skookum Cycle & Ski and the Shuswap Cycling Club are excited to announce that they have entered into a partnership which will ensure that the Salty Dog 6-Hour ENDURO race continues for many years to come!
