Join us for this half-marathon spring challenge as we trek a full 21 km through the rugged heart of the Hilton Falls trail system.
We are heading out to the Milton area to test our endurance amidst Ontario’s beautiful scenery. We’ll navigate varied terrain under towering pines that define this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
The air should be crisp and the forest floor will be waking up with the first signs of spring. You can expect a stop at the iconic waterfall and old mill along the way, a unique feature of this conservation area.
The day is designed for those who want to push their endurance while surrounded by a crew of supportive, like-minded adventurers. Please consider your fitness level when registering for this adventure, as it will be challenging and fast paced.
