KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER:
Must be able to hike already for one hour no problem at a medium to strong pace (intermediate level). NOT worried about how long you can go - that is where we build together.
All hikes will be in Oro-Medonte area for training. Every Wed, start at 6:30am and add time each week. Email us for the complete end timing schedule. Start time is always 6:30am.
Must be committed to every long hike together (only missing 2 group hikes max is critical and to be present for month of June is imperative as longest hikes). If you know in advance, please discuss and we can work something out.
We build by time, given terrain changes on trails, therefore each week we add TIME not distance. Distance is not our focus. Time on our feet is!
Team mentality and positive outlook of being in the woods and testing your endurance and mind.
No refunds after trail adventure begins. Thank you for understanding.
We will begin with 1.25 hours and add time each week building up to 4.5 hours so longest hikes are JUNE.
Total of four online 30 minute Team Conference Calls in evening to discuss nutrients, water, pacing over duration of 10 weeks. Email us for dates.
Final hike is expected to be 7 hours and will be in Hockley with some good elevation.
You must sign a waiver stating you are in clear health for this adventure and that you clearly understand the cancellation policy. This waiver is separate and on top of the waiver usually signed for Vicki Tree.
YOUR COMMITMENT: Each week we will do our long hike together, and then you are responsible for the other two smaller walks or cardio on your own (30 and 45 minutes of cardio). This is totally doable to still juggle your own lifestyle of work and family.
Any questions or concerns, or to see if you are a good fit, just email us and we can chat about where you are at and how you could/would fit into this level of group.
Cancellation Policy:
Please review the above carefully for your commitment. While we understand “life happens” and things will come up, given the unique nature of this adventure there will be no refunds, exchanges or transfers for any cancellations once the session begins.
