Winter fun in Nova Scotia
About The Big Chill
February 27, 2021Starting point: 807 Twin Oaks Road, outside Middleton
Register as an individual or a team!
The BIG CHILL is an important fundraiser for the Lawrencetown Education Centre and Nova Scotia’s at-risk youth. The BIG CHILL is a snowshoe marathon set in the beautiful Annapolis Valley. There are three challenging course lengths: 5km, 15km & 30km. You can register and fundraise as an individual or as a team!
We want to see The BIG CHILL grow and be a family event! As long as they’re accompanied by one adult for the entire course kids 12 years old and under can participate for free and do not need to fundraise*, 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, just like the adults! They will not receive a swag bag.
The team options are designed for a group of participants to challenge themselves in our 15km or 30km distances – either in a relay or group format.
The 15km course can be completed by a 2-person team. The course will be split into two parts. Competitors will have the option of completing one of the two parts of the loop as a relay OR to complete the course together.
The 30km course can be completed as a 2 or 4-person team. With the 2-person format, each person would complete one 15km loop. The 4-person team will each complete one quarter of the course. Any group choosing to complete the full 30km as a team can do so.
*Please note: ALL participants, regardless of age, must register and complete a waiver
Please indicate your plan during registration.
