June 24, 2012!

5:11am to 21:11 (9:11)pm is exactly 16 hours of play for our 3rd annual Longest Day of Trails Fundraiser! We’re so lucky. Actual Summer Solstice occurs on a Wednesday this year (June 20th) but that just didn’t seem like a day when everyone could get out and play… Sunday it is.

Things will be nearly the same as last year: in that each participant can participate with a $10 suggested entry donation. Or he/she can find pledges who will support them in their quest for logging as many miles as he/she can!  Funds raised will go to local trail caretakers allowing them to commit to us trail users the continued health and prosperity of our local trail systems.

There is much more information to come. Check back in on the website by the end of January, and for now… mark your calendars for Sunday June 24th, 2012.

Sunday is the big day!

Welcome everyone.

I am pleased to know that you’re interested in supporting our local trail care-takers: Quimper Trails Association, Jefferson Trails Coalition (of the Olympic Discovery Trail) and Pacific Northwest Trails Association. Sunday is our big day: June 19th is just around the corner.

 

Everything is the same as last year:

Please consider pre-registering. Go to our “Logistical Forms” tab and print off two forms: Registration and Liability Waiver. If you are looking for pledges, then print the Pledge form as well. Fill the two (registration and liability waiver) forms, add your $10 entry donation (checks written to your organization of choice) and get them in an envelope then delivered to local business sponsor The Broken Spoke.  The Broken Spoke is located at 835 Water Street, Port Townsend, WA. There will be a drop box clearly marked. Their hours of operation are 9am to 6pm M-Sat. I will be collecting the forms at the end of the day on Saturday. You could still try and mail it but I wonder if it wouldn’t make it to my PO Box before Sunday!!

If you are not pre-registering, please help us out and fill out the form and bring it with you when you show up on Sunday!

If you are extra lazy, please show up anyway! There will be blank forms for those who show up on event day.

*Registration booth will be at the start of the Larry Scott Memorial Trail, near the Boat Haven of the Port of Port Townsend. Please park at the Park and Ride across Sims Way.

* Sunrise to Sunset! Let’s use our trail etiquette and log as many or as few miles as we can in support of our local trail care-takers! Prizes for the participants who gather the most pledge money.

New to Longest Day of Trails?

Firstly, welcome. I hope you find our cause something of interest for you and either pre-register or register day of for our event. All registration forms are found on our “Logistical Forms” page.

Secondly, our “About” page is full of information on our mission.

Mark your calendars everyone: SUNDAY JUNE 19, 2011.

Our event was such a success last year that we want to do it again.  It will be on a Sunday, for ease of families and individuals. I realize that it’s not technically on the longest day of the season (that Tuesday the 21st); yet I know we’ll have almost as much daylight to make a difference.  The event will be similar to last year, in that it’s a do what YOU want to do. Donate what YOU want to donate. Pledge what YOU can find pledges for.

I still need a little time to get updated forms and documents, so bear with me and start thinking about what you can do to keep supporting our local trail caretakers.

~Thank you,

Nicole
