THE HIKE
Please arrive with enough time to check in and get ready before our 9:00 AM departure.
Brockton Peak, Mt Seymour
4.2 km round trip
Approx. 250 m elevation gain
Difficulty: Moderate
We’ll head out together from Mt Seymour for a morning hike to Brockton Peak before returning to the Loft for our post-hike social.
This is a community hike rather than a race — come ready to move, meet some new people and enjoy a morning in the mountains.
TRY SOME GEAR
GARMIN OUTDOOR
Garmin Outdoor will have approximately 40–50 wearable devices available for attendees to demo during the hike.
Their team will be there before departure to help attendees get set up, answer questions and show you how to get the most out of your device on the trail.
Demo devices are available first come, first served.
Garmin will also be providing Maurten nutrition for the morning.
ARC’TERYX
The Arc’teryx team will be joining us with a footwear demo, giving attendees the opportunity to test out footwear on the trail.
MEC
Connect with the MEC team before and after the hike, check out their activation and fuel up with hydration support for the trail.
