New route maps added

Posted on by

Are you new to the Baden Powell trail? Do you often follow weav­ing squir­rels instead of watch­ing for orange trail mark­ers? Well, to help keep you on the straight and narrow, we’ve added a link to a Cypress Provin­cial Park map and a map sec­tion of Mt. Sey­mour Provin­cial Park. The maps give you a more detailed view of the race route as it goes through the two parks. See them here.

Hello, fellow trail run­ners & wel­come to the 24th run­ning of the Knee Knack­er­ing North Shore Trail Run!

Plan­ning is already under­way, and I’m excited to be kick­ing off another ‘Knee Knacker Season’. I want to start by thank­ing our com­mit­tee mem­bers (Enzo Fed­erico, Julie Flynn, Rod Hat­full, Patri­cia Jensen, Tim Jones, Bev McKenna, Dennis Marchant, Glenn Pace, Jeff Trigg and Andrew Wong), vol­un­teers, spon­sors and run­ners who make this such a great event to be a part of. THANK YOU!

As our trail run­ning com­mu­nity con­tin­ues to grow and we see the sport of ultra-running get­ting more and more ‘press’, we rec­og­nize the impact that a run like the Knee Knacker can have, and we have some excit­ing ideas about how to evolve the run. I’ll share more of these ideas over the coming months, but for now the key info lead­ing up to the lot­tery is below.
