The World Famous Ride
With The Champs
Presented by Livingston's Arctic Cat
February 20-21 2026
Thursday, head on over to the Derby Track and watch some of the most amazing vintage and classic race sleds run hot laps and smell the race fumes.
Friday, join us for the John Deere Reunion Ride, which will leave from the Hall of Fame at 9:00 AM. Following your ride you’ll return to the HOF.
The Hall of Fame will be closing at 5:00 PM on Friday so we can head over to the Whitetail Inn where we will meet at 5:30 PM to start the fish fry. The fish fry includes a fish/chicken dinner buffet followed by 1976 Enduro Team Deere guest speakers!
On Saturday there are six different rides to choose from. These rides will be divided into both vintage and late model groups, as well as by how far or at what pace you would like to ride. As a bonus you will be riding alongside some of the snowmobiling’s most legendary racers, engineers, tuners and pioneers.
Your day begins at 7 AM at the Whitetail Inn with a buffet breakfast that will be followed by celebrity introductions and a group photo. You will then hit the trail with your chosen riding group.
At the halfway point you will break for lunch and a little bench racing before you finish your adventure through the Northwood’s. You will arrive back in St. Germain between 3-4 PM to prepare for the evening’s events.
The festivities at the Whitetail Inn begin at 5 PM with an autograph session featuring snowmobile legends of the past, present and future. Following the autograph session there is a dinner, a live auction and our annual induction ceremony.
It's a great way to get out and enjoy a winter's day, support the Hall of Fame and have a great time applauding some of the legends who have made this sport so great!

About The Ride
With the events popularity, we created multiple rides via different routes to different destinations, based on what and how you want to ride. If you’re up for a challenge, or you want to go slow and take in the beautiful scenery, or if you’d like to ride your vintage machine, it’s your choice.
There are many different rides to choose from. Whether you ride vintage or traditional late model, want to travel local or are up for a challenge, you’ll have your choice of a great day’s ride.
You'll pick your choice of ride in the morning before the event
