The charity run is North Nova's Relay For Life fund Raiser. The trail that you would be interested in would be Break Line. This is a rocky trail with lots of places to create your own lines for unique challenges. ooh yeah... The trail is located in Folly Mountain, just 20min past Truro on the old highway to NB.

Wicked looking buggy...

Looked at a few video's and the trail seems tight for one tons (84" wide) and a 115" WB!

Any comments from others with large rigs running this trail?

It may be a bit far for a breakin run

I heard that Jeff and his friends did the trail. His friend has a full size blazer iirc.

Someone correct me if I am wrong on this...

I'm the guy in Jeff's vid's with the Blazer and the guy that bought your old trailer, I measure out at 84" wide, No problem getting through this trail, there might be a couple of places you wouldn't want to put that rig but can go around easy enough...Come on out you'll love it...

Wow, can't believe you're only 84" on ton's...that actually seems narrow for what it is. My JK is 82" wide.

Wide open space with lots of room right at the trail head. Tree covered from the main road and a great spot to unload.

The breakline trail would be a good trail to try your rig out Dean.Good bunch of people too.I went up last fall and run the trail,had a god time.Nothing super hard on the main trail,but there's stuff off to the sides to try.
