Join in for a walk or fun-run to help protect and conserve land in Waterloo Region and Wellington County. The 2023 Trail Party's Walk & Run for rare supports our Turn the Map Green campaign where every $2 raised protects 1 square metre of environmentally sensitive land now and for the future. If you want to get outdoors to support nature with your family, friends, children, or co-workers, join us to Turn the Map Green one step at a time.
Three different routes to choose from:
- 5km fun run: this route goes past the ECO Centre to a designated turnaround spot, and then back to the ECO Centre for a true 5km run (no chip timing provided).
- 4.5km adventurous walk: this route includes the rare side trails giving you views of the cliffs, Grand River, and osprey nest.
- 3.5km walk: this route is great for those wanting a route that is accessible to strollers and leashed dogs.
Included with registration:
- BBQ lunch and drinks, including vegetarian option.
- Interpretive educational stations.
- Live music and entertainment along the route.
- Event t-shirt! (If registered before September 2)
- Shuttle bus from end of route back to the beginning
Please Note: The Trail Party takes place on Sunday, September 17. Some tax receipts being sent out refers to being on our trails on September 25. This is a typo that we are working to correct, and we apologize for any confusion. See you on our trails on September 17!
