Hello old friends and new,
Plans for a bigger and better bike rally this year are coming along great. With the help of the CMTA and the newly formed Northeast Alberta Motorcycle Tourism Association we are taking the next steps in marketing our event and are getting so much closer to attaining our goal of building the fallen riders monument.

Last year we introduced a "Meat and Greet" pig roast on Friday night and it proved to be very popular (a little crispy, but popular) so we are definitely bringing that back for the 2012 event. The bands have been booked, Friday night will feature "Wayne Alchin and Blue Gator" blastin’ out some rockin’ blues and Saturday night our old friend Fort McMurray will be returning with "Northern Comfort" to lift the roof with some classic rock and biker boogie.

This year we will also be introducing something new, Newfoundlands own Justin King will be appearing a few times over the weekend to thrill the crowds with some demonstrations of sport bike stunt riding and the Canadian Legion of Riders, out of North Battleford Saskatchewan, will be sponsoring our 1st ever "MINI-BIKE MAYHEM" mini-bike races. Big boys with small toys, promises to be lots of fun.

Pastor Wes from the ROCK ministry will once again be delivering the memorial service for all of our fallen brothers and sisters. The dunk tank and kids events will also be making a return this year. 2012 promises to be our best year to date. We are looking forward to seeing everyone once again, until then, please ride safe.

In the fall of 2007 a group of local motorcycle enthusiasts began discussing the next year's upcoming riding events and noticed there seemed to be a drought of events in north eastern Alberta.

Various ideas were bounced around and finally it was decided that we should hold a rally here in Two Hills and dedicate it to the memory of all fallen riders. It was further decided that we should use the event to create a monument to the fallen.

On February 20th, 2008, the idea was proposed to the Two Hills Economic Development Committee where it received unanimous support. That was the birth of the Run to the Hills Memorial Rally. It is our plan to construct a substantial monument and park near the junction of Highway 45 and Veteran's Highway here in Two Hills within the next three years and turn our event into one of the biggest in this region.

We have been receiving overwhelming support from the local community and riders from as far away as Prince George and Prince Albert have expressed an interest in attending. We hope that you be able to join us as it promises to be the rally event of the summer.
