Camp Alexo Rally for Kids successful despite pandemic

Sep 6, 2020 | 11:51 AM

The second edition of the Rally for Kids in support of Camp Alexo was a resounding success on Saturday.

Joining in the rally were 358 participants, beginning at the Nordegg Community Hall and finishing at Camp Alexo’s Eagles Nest Rotary Lodge. 80 per cent of registrants pre-registered online.

The 50 km OHV trail was slightly modified from last year’s first edition of the rally, making it an even more exciting experience for riders of all ages. The event raised just over last year’s total, bringing home $16,500 to support Camp Alexo’s facilities and programs.

A total of 315 adults and 43 youth and children participated in the 50 km rally, with 236 off-highway vehicles took to the trails to participate in the poker run. The event was supported by 17 volunteers and four staff who dedicated their time on the long weekend to support the event.
