The Rainbow Routes Association (RRA) Hike Club events typically take place on the first Saturday of the month. We aim to share the next hike and registration form 2 weeks before on our website, Facebook, and Instagram. Registration in advance helps us to plan and to ensure you get a day-before notification and/or any last-minute changes or cancellations. The registration form will provide further details about the hike (such as difficulty, logistics, transportation, etc.)
Support Improvements to the LU Great Hall Connector Trail!
This spring/summer, we will be making the final improvements to make the Great Hall Connector Trail at Laurentian University a cleaner, drier experience for walkers and cyclists. We could use a little more help to make this a reality. Please consider donating to Rainbow Routes Association and you’ll receive a charitable donation tax receipt. If we exceed our goal on this fundraising project, the funds will be directed to trail projects and/or programs.
