How to log
your KMs
Logging your progress is simple! You can manually enter your distance in your dashboard — or connect a fitness app like Garmin or Strava to automatically track your hikes, rides, paddles or rolls.
No matter how you move, make sure your kilometres are counted toward our national goal during the Great Canadian Hike from September1-30. Let’s hit 100,000 km together!
