If you are considering having an event involving the Lavender Trails – please read this article first.
Organizers of any event involving the Lavender Federation Trail (LFT), the Lavender Cycling Trail (LFT) and associated loop and spur trails for marathons or an organized event other than walking or cycling clubs and groups are requested to contact SARTI.
There are several requirements that organizers need to comply with in the early stages of planning an event.
Depending on what type of event is planned, this may include notifying landowners and some local government authorities. The main Lavender Federation Trail and some of the connecting loop and spur trails cross private property. Our agreement with local landowners is that the trail is only for the use of walkers.
Some events, such as the Irrational South 200 Miler have competitors running during the night with check points and rest spots set up at various locations. (this event had been previously run on the LFT). It is important that everyone that could be affected, local groups, landowners, and State and Local Government authorities are aware of special events.
SARTI encourages use of its trail network, but it is important that we continue having good relations and cooperation of local communities and land owners or managers.
