Fall Hike Challenge! The Hiker Challenge is about inspiring, motivating and rewarding hikers to start hiking or to hike more. Your reward for completing a challenge is a badge to show off on clothing or backpacks (or blankets!) and making the Honour Roll. It challenges you to visit at least 7 of 10 local trails over the course of a year and we're amping it up! In addition to the seasonal prize draw for gift cards generously provided by The Trail Shop, Barrington Recreation has a limited number of hike blankets to give away. This is great to sew all your hike badges on from across the province and show them off! Links to all the hike maps are in the comments along with the form to check off your hikes. each hike completed = one entry. The special contest part of this challenge will run from Thanksgiving weekend (CAN) to Thanksgiving weekend (US) October 12-November 30 For full details and hike maps: https://barringtonmunicipality.com/Recreation/active-living All NS Hikes in the Hike NS Challenge - https://www.hikenovascotia.ca/programs-hiker-challenge/ |
