The 64th annual Canadian Power Toboggan Championships will take place in Beausejour, Manitoba, on March 7 and March 8, 2026. This major winter event is recognized as the world’s longest-running snowmobile race and draws participants and fans from across the region to celebrate a local tradition.

Competitions will take place at the CPTC Raceplex, which features a specialized half-mile ice oval track. The facility is designed for professional ice oval racing and is regarded as one of the fastest and safest tracks for high-speed snowmobile competition.

According to the Beausejour Brokenhead Development Corporation, the championships serve as a vital economic driver for the community. The weekend of racing provides a significant boost to local tourism and hospitality businesses by bringing in many visitors from outside the area.

The event is managed by Canadian Power Toboggan Championships Inc., a local board of directors that oversees the races and the dedicated racing facility. The term power toboggan is a historical name for snowmobiles that has been part of the event’s identity since it first began in the 1960s.
