Post Event Party
We will gage numbers and gather at a local pub for a beer, food, and stories following our run.
What to Bring?
- Bring a small-medium hiking/running backpack.
- Carry at least 2 liters of water. Some run-off water should be available, along with a limitless supply of snow.
- Pack a lunch, like a sandwich, some fruit, a Tim's bagel, or even a gel if you prefer, but have enough food for about 2-6 hours of snowshoeing (depending on your distance).
- back country emergency supplies
- Most importantly, DON'T FORGET YOUR CAMERA!
Notes
- it's not a race, but we do keep track of your times so you have something to compare to next year
- this event is not sponsored, sanctioned, permitted or anything else that would qualify it as an official event
- it's your responsibility to be trained and come prepared for this wilderness event. If in doubt what that means, better wait another year!
