This year we’ve introduced a virtual ballot entry system for the Early Registration and Grand Prize draws.  

It’s simple: by signing up for the Great Canadian Hike, you’re automatically entered in both draws. But every time you or your team hit the fundraising or activity milestones listed below, you’ll earn extra ballot entries!  

The ballots you earn are tracked automatically on your individual or team dashboard — so all you have to do is keep raising funds and logging KMs and watch your odds improve.
