The Naytahwaush Nightriders Snowmobile Club will hold its 18th annual Hospice Ride Feb. 5-6, 2022. 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 roundtrip ride starts on Saturday, Feb. 5 at 9 a.m. at Pinehurst Resort in Naytahwaush and travels to Park Rapids for an overnight stay. Pizza will be provided by the club for dinner. Riders will leave for Naytahwaush on Sunday, Feb. 6 at 10 a.m., stopping in Emmaville for lunch.
Throughout the past 17 years, participants have raised more than $140,000 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 in Naytahwaush and the surrounding areas.
“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.”
