What a fantastic app! I am always looking for new trails near home and while camping and this will make it so much easier! I love the level of detail... length, difficulty, terrain, photos etc. I've read some negative reviews complaining about the map coverage and the omission of some trails...But I find it quite fine for my needs and there are usually links to the appropriate trail association's website for those requiring a higher level of detail. I think it's a great starting point for when you want to get an idea of what's around you but you don't want to waste several hours doing internet research. And there are many, many trails in Ontario; I'm not surprised if they aren't all included in the very first edition of this app. I'm sure Ontario Trails will be more than happy to include any missed trails that people bring to their attention. Personally, though, I find the current listings to be quite comprehensive. Great work Ontario Trails!
Super app

I was waiting for something like that for long time I am big fan of hiking
Spartan Race -Do you have the Trail?
About Spartan Race:
We do 5+k, 12+k and 20+k obstacle course races throughout eastern Canada each year during the months of May, June and July. This season our events were hosted at Hardwood Bike and Ski. They are currently seeking a new venue for the 2014 race season.
- 5+k events typically host 5-7,000 racers and 2-3,000 spectators per day and are 2 day events (Saturday, Sunday)
Basic information on venue requirements:
- Within 1 - 1.5 hours of GTA
- Elevational changes (we have done events at multiple ski locations)
- Wooded areas
- Sufficient open space for location of our "village" and several of the obstacles (although most obstacles are placed along the course)
- Water - lake, river, stream is highly desirable but not mandatory
- Electric connection near the village area is highly desirable but not mandatory
- Access to sufficient parking (onsite is desirable, but remote is acceptable).
- Parking for 5-7000 racers
Trail Questions
2)
QUESTION:
Does your forest landbase ever get land transferred to it through someone’s estate? If so,
1. How do you get the word out about transferring land over?
2. What kind of process is involved? Do you have a contract that outlines how the land will be managed, any disclaimers, etc?
3. How often does this happen?
