You’ve been waiting a whole year and now it’s here. The NWTRPA Walking Challenge is back!
The NWTRPA Walking Challenge (previously known as Walk to Tuk) registration is open, and we want you to join us for the 2023 winter season!
There are many reasons to participate in the Walking Challenge, and it wouldn’t be possible without our amazing sponsors.
Throughout the challenge, community members, schools, and workplaces are encouraged to form teams and conceptually walk the length of the Big River, 1,658km from Zhatıé Kų́ę́/Fort Providence to Tuktuuyaqtuuq/Tuktoyaktuk. Participants have from January 2 to February 28, 2023, to get their team to the finish line in Tuktoyaktuk.
