The registration process is described in detail below the calendar. All participants are required to sign a Waiver of Liability prior to participating in our group hikes. If you require assistance with the registration process, please contact info@oakridgestrail.org or publicity@oakridgestrail.org

By registering for ORTA hikes you will have read and agreed to the following Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk:

Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk 

I acknowledge that this activity of the Oak Ridges Trail Association, in which I am participating, involves risks which are beyond the control of the Association. Notwithstanding the acknowledgement of such risks, I hereby release the Oak Ridges Trail Association, its contractors, employees, volunteers, agents, assigns and executors, as well as Hike Ontario, from all claims for damage however so arising as a result of my participation in this or any other activity organized by the association.

I agree to pay the cost of any emergency evacuation of my person or belongings that may be necessary. I affirm that I am aware of the nature of the activity, its distance, duration and degree of difficulty and that I am properly equipped and physically able to participate.

I have no medical or other condition or communicable disease which might preclude my participation or that could reasonably be expected to pose a risk to me or to the group. I agree to advise the hike leader of any medical conditions that may require assistance.

I agree to follow the directions of the hike leader for the duration of the activity. I acknowledge that hike leaders can deny participation by hikers who are ill equipped or in obvious poor health and that hikers retain the right to ask members to wear a mask when sharing a vehicle.

I acknowledge that failure to abide by these conditions could put me or other members of the group at risk.

The Following Governs the Registration Process:
  • Each Registration is good for ONLY ONE PERSON. Please ensure only one name is in the "First Name" field.
  • Family Members and Members registering a non-member guest: Please note that if more than one hiker is registering for the same hike you must register each person separately. After you register yourself, there is a button to register again. Click on it to enter other family members name or your non-member guest's name for the same hike and proceed as usual through the registration process. Members are required to speak to the Hike Leader to obtain approval BEFORE registering their non-member guest.
  • Hikes are open to ORTA members and their registered non-member guest. Some hikes will allow non-members. A non-member will not be able to view or register for Member only hikes.

  • Members must log into their Wild Apricot account to see the full list of hikes and details. Review the hike listings and click on the one that interests you to register or for more information.

  • You will receive an email confirming your registration. Keep it as a reminder.
  • If the hike is full you can register to be placed on the wait list. "Join Waitlist" If an opening becomes available, the first person that is on the waiting list will be automatically registered and notified by email.
  • Should you need to cancel your registration, you have an obligation to Cancel your Registration using the online system, PLUS If you are cancelling after 6 pm the night before the hike, contact the hike leader to let them know you have cancelled. Your cancellation will allow your fellow hiker to go. If you are having difficulty only then contact the office by email info@oakridgestrail.org and state your name, which hike, and Michele will cancel it for you, but you still must contact the leader.
  • Should you become registered for a hike after 6pm the night before the hike, (even if from the waitlist) you must contact the hike leader to let them know you are attending, as they may have printed off their Hike Leader List already and will not know you are coming and may leave without you.
  •  This registration process and the information gathered takes the place of on-site registration at the hike.
  • NON-Members: Hikes that allow non-members will indicate thus and you will be signing in and checking off the waivers on the day of the hike with the hike leader. Please show up prepared with all the hike requirements met.
