YEAR LEGACY 6 6
This will be my 6th year riding in the V500 Snowball Cancer Challenge! I will be riding 500 miles... in 1 day on February 12th to raise awareness and money for families who are battling cancer. That is 500 miles in one day on a snowmobile! I look forward to every mile knowing that your contributions will help so many families. Thank you so much for your help! Let's Ride! Thank you Lucas Derry for signing me up for my 1st v500 7 years ago! Having you as a group leader and a friend is priceless!

As part of the Snowball Cancer Challenge 2026, Nick Keller’s Valentine Ride will continue in his memory. On February 5, 2026 and February 12, 2026, a group of riders will attempt to ride 250+ or 500+ miles in ONE DAY. These riders will obtain pledges and donations to keep them motivated on their long ride(s).


The money raised will go to the Keller Family Community Foundation to support its mission.
All donations will be tax deductible.
