Maple Leaf Foods and Craig's Cause Pancreatic Cancer Society Presents the 2013 Maritime Bike Tour!

                                                                         CLICK HERE TO REGISTER OR LEARN MORE!

On July 31st, 2013, 25+ cyclists will leave Halifax, Nova Scotia and embark on an amazing adventure, touring the Maritime Provinces; Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. These provinces are known for their rugged coastlines and distinct Maritime Culture.

Each cyclist will be part of a team, which cycles together.  Teams will leave from specific locations, along the daily route, which is mapped out prior to departure.

Along with the daily touring, cyclists will be present at one Pancreatic Cancer Information Session a day. Speakers will include Craig’s Cause Pancreatic Cancer representatives and medical specialists. For many of our cyclists, this is often the “heart” of the tour. Cyclists not only listen to and experience stories that will inspire and humble them; they often connect to individuals in attendance which leaves a lasting impression.
