1000 Mile Challenge History
What is the 1000 Mile Challenge?
The 1000 Mile Challenge is an endurance challenge event in New Brunswick, Canada. Historically, the event included two snowmobilers who set off on a journey across New Brunswick trails, with the goal of achieving 1000 GPS miles in 24 hours. The primary goal of the event is to raise funds that will be used directly to send children to summer camp, who would not be able to go due to financial reasons.
For the year 2024, the 24 hour time has been lifted and The Challenge is now a week long event. We invite riders to New Brunswick to ride some of the best trails in the world and allow teams of two or more to attempt 1000 Miles with no set time limit. Some teams will choose to be live tracked via two-way satellite tracking devices, and fans worldwide can track the riders’ locations on a live online platform. Fans are welcomed to cheer trailside, record and post content, and be involved in the excitement. Multiple film crews capture content before, during, and after the event. Daytime aerial support ensures fans are kept in the action while the event is underway.
The 1000 Mile Challenge has captivated over a million fans worldwide every year, with an audience from more than 10 countries. Snowmobilers rally together for the cause; they unite, share the vision, and join in the experience. This event is something people feel a part of; a heartwarming and interactive experience.
Since 2021, the 1000 Mile Challenge has raised over $250,000 that covers camp fees for kids in summer.
