Description
NEW BADGE ALERT
Plan to enjoy spectacular fall colours as you hike the approximately 72 kilometres of main trail through the famous Caledon Hills on Saturday and Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.
The registration fee covers the BTC Hike Schedule Processing Fee, daily bus transportation, and an end-to-end badge on completion.
Participants are shuttled by school bus from the meeting places to the start locations.
Hikers hike independently or with other participants. There is no leader, but there is a designated sweep.
Checkpoints are located every 7-11 km along the route. Volunteers provide light refreshments and beverages at the checkpoints.
Participants are expected to hike at a pace of approximately 4 km/hr or faster. There are cut-off times. The cut-off times are calculated using a 4 km/hr pace, a 15-minute late-start buffer, and an additional 15-minute rest time at each checkpoint.
Refunds are allowed up to 60 days before the event.
The event promises to be a FUN one!
