Naytahwaush Nightriders Snowmobile Club to Hold 17th Annual Hospice Ride in February

The Naytahwaush Nightriders Snowmobile Club will hold its 17th annual Hospice Ride on Feb. 6, 2021. The snowmobile ride is open to the public, and there is no cost to participate. Riders are asked to gather pledges to benefit Hospice of the Red River Valley. Register for the ride by contacting Tom McArthur at (218) 935-5855 or tomimac84@hotmail.com.

The one-day ride starts on Saturday at 9 a.m. at Pinehurst Resort in Naytahwaush.

Over the past 16 years, participants have raised more than $130,000 for Hospice of the Red River Valley through the Hospice Ride, which covers a different area each year. The money raised helps provide medical, emotional, spiritual and grief support for Hospice patients and their families.

“We started the event as a way to remember Naytahwaush Nightriders members who have passed away while also supporting a local organization,” said Tom McArthur, the event’s organizer. “We hope riders from across the region will come out to participate in this fun and meaningful event again this year.”

The Naytahwaush Nightriders also will host its 51st annual Nightriders Snodeo event March 6-7 at Pinehurst Resort.
