Registration is now open for the 2026 Spin the Lakes cycle tour in Huntsville, Ontario, which raises money for local mental health services. The event is set for May 23, 2026, at Hidden Valley Resort. All proceeds support the Canadian Mental Health Association Muskoka-Parry Sound, which offers programs in communities like Bracebridge, Huntsville, and Parry Sound.
Cyclists can choose between four different routes, including a 20-kilometre family ride and a 180-kilometre endurance course. The money raised helps fund more than 30 specialized mental health and addiction services across the region. Participants will receive a post-ride lunch buffet, access to refreshment stations, and support from first aid and vehicle teams.
The current registration fee is $175 until April 30, after which the cost increases to $200. This year, the event aims to reach a $10,000 fundraising goal. According to Discover Muskoka, 61 participants have already registered and raised more than $2,500 as of late March.
Last year, the event exceeded its expectations when 242 cyclists raised over $13,000. This annual tour has become a major local event since it began several years ago. Residents interested in participating can sign up online through the official registration website.
