The Northland 300 is all about people, snowmobilers, the charity, the towns and the combination therof. The Northland 300 was built on friendships and the friendships continue to grow each year. Friendships and comaraderie of the riders and the folks we meet at our checkpoints in the towns along the way.
The Northland 300 event is planned by and all volunteer Board of Directors for volunteer snowmobile enthusiasts. The Northland 300 is made possible by its Sponsors and Partners so that all funds go directly to support Special Olympics Minnesota. Rider donations are achieved through sponsorships, raffle ticket sales, company and general donations. Activities to raise funds include Road Rallies, golf outings plus other Special Events.
