Description
Experience the spectacular fall colours while completing our 72.4 kilometre section of Trail over the Thanksgiving long weekend. Bus shuttles for the three days and a beautiful finisher’s commemorative badge are included in the registration fee. Refreshments and beverages will be served at checkpoints every 7-11 kilometres. Participants are expected to hike at a minimum pace of 4 km/hr.
Note: As in past years, registration for the extreme 2-day event did not reach capacity. Participants of this early start 3-day E2E option fill the bus. The bus picks up the 2-day participants and then makes a second stop to pick up the 3-day early hikers. Both 3-day E2E events are exactly the same except for different start times.
Description:
The bus leaves at 7:45 a.m. sharp on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, the bus and trail angels will transport hikers at 8:30. Please plan to arrive at least 20 - 30 minutes before the departure time.
