ABOUT THIS EVENT

“Emerge Anew"

We are happy you would like to join us on this excursion. Hike the Blue has been a staple of TrainFit Club since its inception in 2009. The event has grown tremendously over the years, attracting patrons both locally and overseas.

The trek to the Blue Mountain is not for the faint of heart. It is quite daring and the difficulty of the path, can lead to frightening episodes of slippage. The trail is narrow and steep, especially when you get to the area known as Jacobs’ Ladder. The Peak is the highest on the island, rising to an altitude of 7,402 feet. Braving the odds and accomplishing this feat, is a tremendous affair for hikers, adventure seekers and nature lovers.

After two (2) years of absence, we found it fitting to theme this year’s event, “Emerge Anew”.

client testimonials about hike the blue

Kimberli Skyers

I dislike the outdoors very much! But how can someone who dislikes the outdoors so much participate in so many TrainFit outdoor events? But, TrainFit Club makes you feel comfortable… (Their) Summer Excursion 2019 was held at Castleton, my second outdoor excursion. And it was an experience! From screaming because a lizard fell on a leaf beside me, to being lost on the route (which turned out to be a good thing😀), to dancing and lyming and enjoying the food after the hike. I enjoyed my experience.

JNW – Turtle Power

The Trainfit Milechasers Club has changed my perspective on exercise, keeping fit and the concept of group motivation. They are an awesome group of people so I had no difficulty signing up for their Hike and River Picnic in August 2019. It was held at the Tru Juice Farm. With experienced guides in place we explored the property, laughing singing and enjoying the views. It was breathtaking. When we left, we were all smiling especially those of us who won spot prizes at the end of a fantastic day.

ttended my first Summer Excursion in 2019. It was to Castleton Gardens. At first the trail appeared normal. To my surprise, having experienced Hike the Blue few months earlier, obstacle after obstacle, challenge after challenge presented themselves. I was however determined that a mountain trail would not stop me. I enjoyed every minute including the massage, gifts and that cold Grace Aloe after. Though I swore I would never do this again, I really can’t wait to be on the next one.

REACH THE SUMMIT OF JAMAICA

The botanical richness of the mountain range is breathtaking, with beautiful clusters of fern trees, bamboo, eucalyptus trees and colourful wildflowers on bedded ferns which grows alongside a mossy trail. The birds chirping in the trees, and the unique sounds of tiny creatures lurking in the bushes, provides the perfect musical soundtrack, as you travel through the lush tropical forest. There is a cosy but rustic lodge for overnight camping at Portland Gap and they provide meals upon request.

So if you are looking for a memorable experience and an exhilarating challenge, get your hiking gears together and call TrainFit Club, for a scenic adventure trek, outside of your imagination. There is no other trail quite like it in Jamaica.
