For those of you who are not going to tackle the new Club Fat Ass event "Beyond Nine Mile" in Squamish by veteran Event Host Wendy Montgomery on the 23rd of June, here is an interesting alternative:
Trails BC, Southwest Region is pleased to announce its Greater Vancouver North Shore Trans Canada Trail Challenge 2007 on June 24th. This event follows six successful editions staged from 2003 to 2006. So far, more than 2000 people have participated.
Participants choose to walk, bike, or run on the Trans Canada Trail up to 33 km between Horseshoe Bay and Lonsdale Quay (Waterfront Park) with an option of an additional 30 km to New Brighton Park through the City of Vancouver. There is a variety of difficulty levels from which to choose.
The focus of the Trans Canada Trail challenge events is to experience the spirit of the Trans Canada Trail in a non-competitive and personally challenging way. The trail event also: provides educational opportunities through the assistance of an interpretive guide; involves the communities along the trail; and provides strategies and services for the benefit of participants.
This unique Trans Canada Trail experience is hosted by Trails BC. Proceeds go towards trail construction and maintenance of the Trans Canada Trail. Go to the Trails BC website, www.trailsbc.ca for more information and to register on-line, by fax or by regular mail.
