To get there, travel east on 82nd Ave (Whyte). Turn north on 17th St. (exit to the right). Then, east again on Baseline Road through Sherwood Park then watch for the signs. The park is on the right-hand-side of the road.

When you get to the facility, look for the coordinator (wearing the yellow EOC hat) in the rentals area - she'll need rentals and we all need to buy trail passes.

Carpool to Event Distance (round trip):

80Km

Carpool Departure Time:

11:45 AM

Carpool Directions:

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $23.20 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Thursday, May 2, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
