Fun Times at the Run to the Hills 16th Annual Bike Rally

by Bob Ross

RecentlyTwo Hills and area were treated to a large influx of motorcyclists enjoying the regions wonderful hospitality during the 16th Annual Run to the Hills Rally and Bike week.

This year Riders came from as far away as Washington state and the Yukon to partake in the annual Bike week festivities.

Bike week events were well attended by bikers and locals alike, and included Pro wrestling (always a hit with the kids) live music performances, a paint night that was very well attended and will potentially needs to be held in a bigger venue in the future. The FCSS Chili cook off downtown was very well attended and the gang from Vision Credit Union took home the best chili title for 2023. There was also a hypnotist performance one night, rides to surrounding communities and attractions, bike games, bikini bike washes, Jet boat tours on the N.Saskatchewan river but one of the most exciting things to happen was the introduction 1/8th mile flatrack exhibition motorcycle racing. The addition of motorcycle racing was something organizer Bob Ross has been working towards for a long time and it was well worth the wait. Everyone enjoyed the racing immensely including both racers and spectators alike and everyone is looking forward to its return in 2024. Special note, the youngest competitor on the track that day was a four year old girl and she was a crowd favorite.Our own Abygayle Durie got to open for the Saturday night head- liner. Clayton Bellamy managed time in his busy Roadhammers touring schedule to come out and close out the bike week festivities with a Saturday night concert performance with his band Clayton Bellamy and the Congregation, proving not only that Two Hills is capable of hosting a 10 day event but also of being able to attract world class performers. Next years Run to the Hills promises to be bigger and better
