Some tidbits
In the event of cancellation of the event for reasons including, but not limited to, weather, forest fires, acts of nature, war, strikes or other circumstances, Nova Scotia Trail Running will provide the following 2 options:
- Automatic deferral to the following year.
- A partial refund of your entry fee, calculated by Nova Scotia Trail Running, accounting for factors such as incurred event expenses.
Interested in seeing how much your travel to events has an impact? Check out the carbon calculator that Tree Canada put together.
Just driving 50 kilometres, roundtrip, in a compact, gas vehicle requires 1 tree to offset the emissions (gulp)! Please try to carpool, bike, run (ha!), or use public transport where possible (the bus does get within ~5kms of a few of our events, but the route choices are pretty slim unless you’re coming from the city).
Take care!
