About The Big Chill
February 26, 2022Starting point: 807 Twin Oaks Road, outside Middleton
Register as an individual or a team!
Set in the beautiful Annapolis Valley, The BIG CHILL snowshoe marathon is an important fundraiser for youth-at-risk in Annapolis County. There are three challenging course lengths to choose from 5km, 15km & 30 km. You can register and fundraise as an individual, or as a team!
The team options are designed for a group of participants to challenge themselves in our 15km or 30km distances. The 30km course can be completed by the whole team, or in a 2-person team relay, where each participant will complete one 15km loop of the course. The 15km distance is offered as a team challenge.
As we head into our 7th year, we want to see The BIG CHILL grow! We hope you will encourage your friends and families to do something extraordinary this year in support of youth-at-risk in Annapolis County!
We want to involve the whole family. Children 12 years old and under can participate in the 5km route for free as long as they’re accompanied by a registered adult for the entire course. There is no minimum fundraising for them, although we encourage them to help with their teammates’ fundraising to get the full experience:). Junior snowshoers will receive a BIG CHILL medal at the finish line, but not receive a swag bag.
*Please note: ALL participants, regardless of age, must register and complete a waiver
