Safety during your outdoor adventures and long runs should be high on your list. Please check out
Safe Trip Canada and the features it offers:
Safe Trip Canada allows you to easily and quickly file a Trip Plan online. All trips are
monitored 24/7 and the data you submit will provide vital information
for Search And Rescue in the event that you do not return from your run
by the time specified. Hopefully, the service will never
need to be activated but the additional safety provided by filing a
free Trip Plan is invaluable.
Trip Plans are
already used by outdoor enthusiasts and as a runner venturing into the back country you should consider doing the same.
Full details are
available at
Safe Trip Canada. The website also lists many outdoor activities, including many of our own
events. I encourage everyone to support this website and make use of its
services.
