As we prepare for our final race of the winter karting season, we’ve been very busy putting the finishing touches on our 2024 CKN Summer Tour schedule. There is no shortage of races on tap this summer and narrowing it down, and ensuring we get a chance to see and support as many racers in every region of the country, has been extremely difficult.
We know we just won’t be able to see everyone during the short summer season that is available in Canadian Karting, but before we announce where we’re going this year, we wanted to showcase all of the major events we have confirmed will take place this season in Canadian karting.
We scoured many club, regional and national schedules to find as many “elevated” races as we could on their calendars and have come up with a list of no less than 35 events available to racers this summer.
For sure, there may be some we’ve missed, so please Contact Us with your event to add to this list and as always, you can view our major events calendar right here on CKN!
Western Canada
Starting out west, there are a number of events with each province hosting something special this year.
We’re expecting a big showcase of Western Canadian talent at the winner-take-all Max Karting Group Canada Final, which will take place EDKRA Rotax Mojo Raceway in Warburg, Alberta.
British Columbia will be a busy province this summer with the BC Regional Series stopping at four different circuits, while the new addition of the Rok Cup Pacific NW series will focus at Greg Moore Raceway. Saskatchewan will run a two-event Sask Series, while the Manitoba Karting Association will host their Battle at the Beach event again this summer. Alberta will also have their two club showcases as CKRC hosts their North of 49 Championship event, while EDKRA will run their Summer Challenge at the end of June.

Quebec
In Quebec this summer, their schedule of major events is very well spread out, with the exception of June.
The month starts with the Coupe de Montreal at ICAR, followed by the opening round of the Cup Karts Canada division in Mont-Tremblant two weeks later, their only stop in Quebec this season. The following weekend sees the Coupe de Montreal compete in Saint-Celestin before the Ron Fellows Karting Championship caps off the month in Mont-Tremblant.
For Rotax racers, the focus will be on the Canadian Open in July where tickets to the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals will be awarded.
Interestingly, there are no events scheduled for August where we expect a number of racers to travel for the Canadian Karting Championships or to enjoy some weekends away from the kart track.

Ontario
Saving the busiest for last, Ontario is rammed full of races this summer.
All three regional programs will kick off in May, including the new Ontario Inter-Club challenge, while there is only one significant event scheduled in June.
With the Canadian Karting Championships returning to Hamilton this summer, the circuit will be quite busy with two sets of back-to-back weekends on tap. The first will be their Dash for Cash and Constructors Cup in preparation for the Ron Fellows Karting Championship in July. The second is the HRKC Constructors Cup on the weekend before the Motomaster Canadian Karting Championships.
Cup Karts Canada will have two races in Ontario this summer, returning to Lombardy Raceway in July and then capping off their season at Point Pelee Karting in September.
Finally, ending off the season, we’ve noted the Waterloo Regional Kart Club Oktoberfest Grand Prix, a unique event that for nearly a decade, held the title of Canada’s largest single-day karting event.
