The Karting on Ice Experience

What are the karts like?

With powerful 460cc engines and carbide studded ice tires these karts are unlike anything you have driven before.

Gokarting newbies and racing pros alike are sure to enjoy the challenges of ice karting with plenty of power for long, lurid powerslides that will make you look like a drift king.

How much does it cost?

Cost per driver is $79.97 + MN sales tax. Helmet rental is included at no extra charge.

We ask that customers plan for their visit to last approx one hour to cover safety briefing, track time (20mins), and warm up.

We also offer hourly private track rental. This grants exclusive access to the karts and track for a customized, private experience.

Although there is no minimum required number of drivers for private rental, it’s typically best for groups between 8-15 for each hour.

Where are you located?

The 2025 season will be held on select dates on lakes, mostly North of Minneapolis\St. Paul in the vicinity of Lindstrom.

When does the season start and end?

The 2025 season is expected to start on Feb 1st on South Center Lake. From that date we will run as often as Minnesota weather allows.

What are the requirements to drive? How old do drivers need to be?

All drivers must be a minimum of 4′ 10″ and 14 years or older.

All drivers must be able to reach and competently operate the controls.

A safety briefing is given before your session where you can also ask any questions you may have.

Maximum weight guideline is around 280lbs, however with how body proportions vary, it’s best to have larger drivers sit in a kart to assess safety and comfort.

This is a high risk activity. Impaired driving will not be tolerated.

Our Story..

Epic Kart Racing is a family owned business based in Minnesota.

Using our experience in the “regular” gokarting industry, our goal is to craft unique karting experiences that are super fun for everyone, but still challenging for seasoned racers.

In December 2019 we floated the idea of Karting on Ice to the people of Minnesota via social media.
The reaction was incredible with over 2million views on our intro video of which over 2000 people signed up for the early access email list.

We were on our way…. or so we thought.

It turned out that even with our experience and connections in karting, securing a suitable location along with required permits and insurance was going to be an uphill battle with a few false starts.

Fast forward to early February 2021 (It’s OK to skip 2020, right?) with everything locked-in, we moved in to Washington County Fairgrounds. We managed to squeeze two weekends of running before the season ended.

Jan to March 2022 saw our first full season of operation which combined with a flurry of media attention lead to us making a series on on-the-fly changes to keep up with demand.

2023 saw the project take some big leaps with an extended 1600ft track spanning a variety of bends, electronic timing, kart performance upgrades and more.

2024 brings us to a new location at Running Aces Casino, Hotel and Racetrack.
