Join the annual Great Trek for a ‘Jaunt Through Musqueam Territory’ on Saturday, October 28th, 2023 (formerly known as the Fall Classic).
Unknown to many is the Arts ’20 Relay—a race from the original UBC campus, where Vancouver General Hospital stands today, to Point Grey. Organized by the class of Arts 1920, this relay challenged other faculties and graduating years to compete, determining the fastest and granting bragging rights.
Over a century later, UBC Recreation reissues the challenge with the Great Trek Relay. Gather five (5) members to compete!
