What did last year's Trekkers think?
"It was great to have an event that our whole family could participate in."
"I was impressed with how well the first Trek-a-thon ran ... hopefully it will get bigger each year - I did have a few friends that were sorry they hadn't come to walk with me, so next year, I'll remind them!"
Fun Stuff!
We'll have face painting and an Astro Jumper for the kiddies and for the adults: free massages from registered massage therapists after your strenuous Trek!Not in Calgary? Be a Satellite Trekker!
