Hiking Canada’s Great Divide Trail – 4th Edition

Trekking the Continental Divide from the U.S. border to Kakwa Lake is a demanding adventure. In this fourth edition of the bestselling guidebook devoted to Canada’s 1200-kilometre Great Divide Trail (GDT), Dustin Lynx helps hikers piece together the myriad individual routes that form a continuous trail along the Divide.


Outlining the seven major sections of the GDT, Lynx breaks the trail into shorter, more attainable segments and thoroughly describes the terrain and condition of each. Not only are these trail segments invaluable for planning shorter trips along the GDT, Lynx’s pre-trip planning advice will also prove indispensable for long-distance hikers overcoming such daunting logistical challenges as resupply, navigation, and access.

Complete with new colour photos, detailed maps, and updated information, Hiking Canada’s Great Divide – 4th Edition will continue to serve domestic and international hikers alike in navigating this remarkable mountain wilderness trail.

Great Wall Marathon -19 April 2018

Deixar um comentário

The Great Wall Marathon is widely considered one of the world’s most challenging marathons.
Despite the arduous course on the iconic Great Wall of China, runners will be rewarded by its breathtaking surroundings and views. As the route leads participants through the lower valley and into the villages, onlookers will be cheering and the festive atmosphere is a real energy boost!
Find out more about the race below.
There are few ways to register for The Great Wall Marathon, depending on your place of residency.
If you are not a resident of China, you can purchase one of two holiday packages, which include race entry: the 6-day itinerary or the 7-day itinerary.
The same packages are available for spectators and provide entry to Race Day and Inspection Day, as well as other activities with the runners.
If you are a resident in China, you can purchase “race entry only” without the packages. You can also sign up through one of our partner travel agents.
Registration closes for the 2018 Great Wall Marathon on 19 April 2018. After this date, no new entries will be accepted.
We advise you, however, to book early to avoid disappointment. The 2017 event sold out well in advance of the regular registration period.
If you sign up after 19 March 2018, a late registration fee of 100 USD will be applied to each person on your booking. In addition, the full amount (ie. not just the deposit) must be paid immediately.
The Great Wall Marathon takes place on the third Saturday in May every year.
Upcoming runs will take place on the following future dates:
19 May 2018
18 May 2019
The Great Wall Marathon features three distances:

Full marathon – 42.195km/26.2mi

Half marathon – 21.1km/13.1mi

Fun Run – 8.5km/5.5mi – a non-competitive run also on the Great Wall
