Trans Canada
Trail Challenge 2008
Myra Station to Penticton Trans Canada Trail Pavilion
Sunday,
July 6
The following is an invitation to members of your
group to participate in this year’s Trans Canada Trail Challenge event.
Trails BC, the Myra Canyon Trestle
Restoration Society, the Naramata Woodwackers, and the Summerland TCT Society
along with regional communities/jurisdictions are pleased to offer its 8th
Trans Canada Trail Challenge. This year it will be held in conjunction
with the re-opening of the Myra Canyon
and the Penticton Centennial. Participants will be
able to discover and explore up to 80 km of the Trans Canada Trail on the Kettle Valley Rail Trail.
You can choose to cycle,
walk, run, or ride your horse in this non-competitive and personally
challenging event. Cyclists can choose to ride the full 80 km while
walkers along with cyclists and runners can choose to do shorter sections
that include the spectacular Myra Canyon with all its
re-constructed trestles. In the Myra Canyon alone there are 18 trestles
and two tunnels. Equestrians will be able to combine a ride with a walk
or cycle in the Myra Canyon.
If you haven’t already done so, go to our
website: www.trailsbc.ca for more
details and to register either online or by regular mail. For
information about the Myra canyon and its location go to: http://www.myratrestles.com
We sense that this will be a very popular event and
registrations are limited. Register early to avoid disappointment.
