Frequently asked questions

Will I need bear spray?

YES! It will be mandatory that every runner carry bear spray on their person at all times to participate in this run. There will not be any extras provided.

Do I need trail runners to participate?

No, but it is helpful to have them for the type of terrain we will be running as they generally offer more support and protection from weather and rocks.

Will any gear be provided?

No. You are responsible for bringing your gear. Gear examples: poles for running, a small pack, water bladder +/or bottles, food and snacks, thermal layers and rain layers if needed, bug repellant, sunscreen, a hat, first aid kit (optional), bear banger (optional), SAT phone or Garmin like device.

Will water and snacks be provided?

Yes. I will have water at the start of the run and snacks for the finish. You will be responsible to carry your own water supply while running. This can be water bottles or a bladder in your pack +/or means to purify water. There are no clean purified water sources along the trail.

Do I have to carry a pack while running?

No, but it is highly recommended. Since it is mandatory to carry water and bear spray, bug spray and emergency gear is advised, and weather may be a factor you should be running with a small pack or ultra running pack.

Do I need bug spray?

Yes. If you are bringing a friend share a bottle. The bugs can be very bad especially the horse flies.

How do I get there?

You are responsible for your own transportation and need to show up at least 20 minutes prior to the start time of 8 AM. I suggest car pooling. If you aren't sure of the location, Google Maps will guide you there or you can call me prior but once you leave the town of Waskesiu, cell service ends.

Do I need insurance?

This is strictly a fun group run. It is not hosted by an organization or agency and you are running at your own risk. There will be no cell service while we are on the trail and it is recommended you bring an emergency contact capable device. Insurance and safety is your own responsibility.
