Join us at Bear Creek Regional Park for a great multi-user trail event! Bring the family (leashed dogs are welcome too!), meet other trail users and have a great time enjoying one of our best parks at this unique non-speed event. All funds go toward building and maintaining the Equestrian Skills Course. Prizes in every category (special prize category for 18 and under) – anyone can win!
How Does It Work?
Arrive between 8:30am and 9:30am giving yourself enough time to complete the course by 11:15 am. Each participant gets a scorecard to start. You will draw a card at five different checkpoints on the course. Adults will collect scores for a poker hand and participants under 18 will collect stamps for a special prize. Turn your hand in at the finish line. Prizes are given out for the high and low hands in each category. Prizes also for the oldest participant and furthest distance travelled to the event. You must be present at 11:30am to win a prize!
