Community, support and celebration this is what our events are all about. We believe that we can change peoples lives with those three elements. Help us support local organizations that are doing amazing things for others!
Join us in the beautiful trails of Rolley Lake Provincial Park in support of the Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue Team. We know the importance of outdoor education and being prepared when heading outdoors. We strive to educate others about the risks and how to be prepared when outdoors, through this event.
Did you know that it takes an average of 8 hours for a SAR Team to reach you once you have called for help in the mountains?!
In support of the Ridge Meadows SAR Team we are hosting an 8 hour loop event. You can do one lap, go for 2 hours or 5 hours... you choose what distance and or time is best for you. For those of you looking to go long or far you have 8 hours to complete as many laps as possible. You can walk, hike, run... join us for the fun on this loop course!
On June 1, 2024 we are running to raise money for the Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue Team. CAD$5.00 from your event registration will be donated to Ridge Meadows SAR.
The Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue Team is a volunteer SAR group based in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. As one of over 80 SAR groups in BC, they respond to calls from local law enforcement to wilderness and urban searches and rescues. Golden Ears Provincial Park, is in their response area, and is the location of many of their responses.
