Burin Peninsula Trails Challenge.

12 TRAILS.  42KM. APRIL - SEPTEMBER, 2021.

SOCIAL DISTANCING, MADE EASY.

This spring and summer, let's get outside.

The Burin Peninsula Health Care Foundation challenges you to walk, hike, run or stroll the 12 municipal trails on the Burin Peninsula, a grand total of just over 42km, in support of local health care initiatives on the Burin Peninsula.  From April to September, challenge yourself, your friends, your co-workers, and your family to participate in our challenge, and enjoy the beautiful trails our region has to offer.

Funds raised during the Burin Peninsula Trails Challenge will support the purchase of a Transport Monitor for the Intensive Care Unit at the Burin Peninsula Health Care Center, which will be used while transporting cardiac patients to our tertiary center in St. John's.  

Registration is $40/participant, and includes a brilliant finisher's medal, pictured here, which will be issued to those who successfully complete the challenge of walking all 12 trails.  Waive the registration fee by collecting a minimum of $40 in sponsorships.
