Trail Work Schedules

Trail work (8 hours), race volunteering (8 hours), or $85 USD donation to our trail work fund is required for this race. Trail work may include clearing overgrown bushes, removing downed trees or branches, building or repairing bridges, removing debris, fixing drainage issues, or assisting BC Parks with their projects. This work can be done along with us (and as a bonus you get to meet other racers and see part of the course), or with your local club or group.  Any sanctioned trail work or race volunteer work satisfies this requirement. Use this form to submit proof by email if you volunteer with another group. 

Email to let us know you are coming. Always check the location before driving; we may need to change locations based on priority.  We supply the tools; you bring your own lunch!
