Endurance Race + Jam

The Midwest Snow Kite Jam is back with a new format for 2026. What used to be a single weekend is now a month-long endurance ride and fundraiser supporting Project Koru.

How It Works

Starting January 1st and ending February 7, riders log as many miles as possible on snow or water from anywhere in the world. All riding is tracked using Strava in the Midwest Snow Kite Jam club, and winners are announced at the awards ceremony on February 7 in Cadillac, Michigan. Attendance at the ceremony is required to qualify for prizes.

Fundraising

This is a pledge-based fundraiser benefiting Project Koru. Supporters can donate per mile or give a flat donation. Fundraising is optional but encouraged.

Event Weekend

The event weekend runs February 6 to 8, 2026 in Cadillac, Michigan. Every registration includes a Caberfae lift pass ($85 dollar value). On-site features may include a rail setup, high jump, possible race event, Broko demos, and professional photos and drone footage.

Registration

Those who only want to attend the February 6 to 8 event can purchase an event ticket for $100 via the Givebutter button/link below (On the Givebutter page, click "Registration" and then follow the screenshots at the bottom of the page).

Riders who want to participate in the January endurance race and fundraiser should register through Givebutter AND join the Strava club (both buttons/links below).
