Participants are encouraged to travel to the Quesnel/Wells/Barkerville area early in the week of January 18th, 2010 to enjoy many opportunities on a host of groomed trails in the area.
For those with sled dogs, all attempts will be made to connect you with local sled dog owners so that your questions and needs will be addressed, just let organizers know about your wishes and your needs. Information on accommodation and trail conditions will be available. It is possible to run on trails of all lengths, including extended miles in the Wells area.
For skiers, there are a variety of trail options available. Come and experience the Hallis Lake cross country trail network in Quesnel, a well-developed and maintained trail system for all abilities, including some lighted trails. A second system of groomed trails exists in the Wells area, maintained by the Wells Ski Club. There are also groomed trails at Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park. Well established back country routes exist in the Wells - Barkerville area, complete with overnight cabins. There is also the opportunity to ski on groomed snowmobile trails along the Mail Run route.
