An amazing 61.2 km point-to-point run from Sooke to Shawnigan Lake!
Start at (**UPDATED!**) the Sooke Park and Ride (6250 Sooke Rd). Run over to Harbourview Rd and climb over some of the Sooke Hills' best known peaks, before descending down to an aid station with drop bags at the Mt Wells/Humpback Resivoir parking lot. Then take a somewhat leisurely turn, climbing the Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail to another aid station at Spectacle Lake. After that, traverse a series of logging roads and dirt bike paths towards Old Baldy Mountain and some fantastic view points along the way. Finally, descend to the Shawnigan Lake village and finish at the Jickling residence, where we can all warm up by the wood stoves, cuddle up to Walter (the Malamute) and enjoy a BBQ dinner.
We are looking for a few people to help out with the two aid stations. Please contact Kevin Jickling on Strava if you can help out!
