Britannia Winter Trail
We want to let everyone know that our winter trail is now officially closed for the season.
It’s always sad to say goodbye until next year, but we’re grateful for the wonderful community that makes the trail so special.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible sponsors, dedicated partners, and the many volunteers who give their time and energy. We couldn’t make this trail possible without you!
During the off-season, we’ll be focusing on maintenance and repairs to ensure everything is ready for next winter.
For updates, stories, and photos of our beautiful urban winter trail, be sure to follow us on Facebook.
