Long Sault Ridge Runners is a snowmobile club comprised of a cooperative group of members who volunteer their time and efforts to enhancing the sport of snowmobiling in Ontario.  The snowmobile club was originally formed in 1967 with ten members and the clubhouse was located in the old Darlington Township. In 1978 the club relocated to the 9th Conc. Clarke Township east of Hwy # 115.  However, this dedicated group of snow-mobilers had a vision of one day owning a permanent clubhouse. After a lot of planning, hard work, fund raising and co-operation of all its members, that dream became a reality. In 1981 a parcel of land was purchased west of Hwy # 35 on Sandy Hook Road (formerly Manvers 2nd Line) just south of Pontypool. In 1985 a two-storey building was erected.

The Long Sault Ridge Runners concentrate their focus on District 3 of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs.  As a club they work in conjunction with other clubs to maintain the accessibility and safety of the trail system.

The club also maintains a focus on the community, taking part in events like Snowarama.  In 1986 the club started Driver Training courses for students 12 and over who do not have a valid drivers license but want to learn how to safely operate a snowmobile.  The Long Sault Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club is a member of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs.

The main focus and interest of the club is snowmobiling; however, there are activities planned year round so there is usually something for all ages to enjoy. There is also a ‘social membership’ for non - snowmobilers.

Some of the events that take place during the year include:

  • snowmobile trail rides

  • Pancake Breakfasts

  • Euchre Parties

  • Christmas Party & Gift Exchange

  • Corn Roast

  • Wing Night & BBQ

  • Spring & Fall Cleanup day followed by Pot Luck Supper

  • Summer Weekend Camp Out with Horseshoes & Lawn Darts 

Food is always a big part of the fun; as well as enjoying good times with old and new friends that share a common interest – SNOWMOBILING

Our clubhouse is a friendly place to be.  A full canteen is available and you can enjoy a snack while you warm up on one of the many chairs and sofas that surround the woodstove.  We have a dart board for some friendly indoor fun.  Drop in while you are out snowmobiling and share tale or two over a cup of coffee.
