Description:
Pacific Spirit Park is a trail-running paradise right in UBC's backyard. Yet, perhaps precisely because it is so close, it is all too easy to take it for granted and let your time at UBC slip away without genuinely exploring it.
This is the fourth iteration of the challenge (Gabrielle Booth organized the Challenge back in 2019 and 2020, and I took it upon myself to bring it back last year). The idea is simple:
(1) Run (or walk) every path in Pacific Spirit Park. It does not need to be done in one go (though I'll be organizing the PSP Ultramarathon next term, where we will do exactly that); just complete every trail before the end of the term.
(2) Record your progress by making a copy of the map and highlighting the trails you've covered. You can find this in the google drive folder.
(3) Let me know when you've finished and I'll update the event description to forever memorialize your accomplishment. The first to finish will win a cinnamon bun from Grounds for Coffee as a bonus incentive (alternatives can be arranged if you don't want a cinnamon bun).
Good luck!
