Event Day:

Plan for a fantastic time hiking with family and friends in the northern section of our trail. Take lots of pictures, but remember NO peeking at time, pace, or distance technology during the hike. Participants hiking the longer distance can start between 8:30 and 8:45 and those hiking the shorter distance between 8:45 and 9:00. Light refreshments and beverages will be served at a mid location checkpoint and as part of a celebration at the end. Trail Marshalls will be situated along the trail to help with directions and other concerns.

The hikers in each distance category with the closest prediction to their actual time will be awarded a fabulous prize. Everyone will receive a spectacular collectible badge. This year’s new badge will be the final one of the series.
