ECOTREK

View the Ecotrek Slideshow

On September 10-11th, 2005 Alberta Ecotrust will host an exciting new fundraising event, Alberta Ecotrek. Ecotrek is a weekend version of the “Eco-challenge” for beginners, a fun outdoor event geared towards Calgary’s weekend outdoor enthusiast.

The race will put four-person teams against one another on a challenging course through Bow Valley Provincial Park. Our eco-adventure will require participants to hike, orienteer, mountain bike, and paddle their way through picturesque Kananaskis along a route that will require wit and teamwork. Teams will work together to navigate between checkpoints, overcome physical and mental challenges, and build environmental awareness, all while racing against the clock!

Ecotrek has been designed as an environmental race, our objective is to promote responsible recreation and environmental stewardship through a fun weekend event in the Kananaskis Valley.

If you are thinking, can I do it? Let me answer that question for you right now, yes you can! This is not an 18, 36 or 72 hour adventure race that is designed for the physically fit elite. Your experience with hiking, mountain biking and paddling will need to be only minimal. Attitude is everything for the Alberta Ecotrek! All funds raised during the Alberta Ecotrek will go to Alberta Ecotrust.

So do your part! Go to our registration page and sign up for this exciting event. Space is limited, so get your teams together and come out for a weekend of fun!

Win great prizes! The winning team will receive a trip for four to Bugaboo Lodge compliments of Canadain Mountain Holidays. Raise pledges for Alberta Ecotrust and you could win Beer For A Year from Wild Rose Brewery! Heaps of other great prizes are available.
