Tip 2 Tip
August 24 - 29, 2024
Welcome to the fourth edition of the Tip 2 Tip Nova Scotia!
​
​
The Tip 2 Tip is a 1000km (or slightly more), single-stage, self-supported, endurance ride from one end of Nova Scotia to the other. The ride is done solo or in pairs, and riders have 5-days to complete the route.
​
​
What is self-supported?
​
-
No support car, water drops, or outside support of any kind - it’s all up to you to get to the finish!
-
In other words, riders must be fully self-sufficient and not receive any private assistance. All food, lodging, etc. must be commercially available to all riders.
​
​
There is no set route, however, there are seven unmanned checkpoints each rider must pass on their way to Meat Cove. Riders will receive the checkpoints on August 23, 24-hours in advance of the start. They can plan their routes accordingly. Riders leave from The Hawk Beach, Cape Sable Island at 08:00 August 24.
​
​
The rider manual will outline all the nitty-gritty stuff you should know about the event.
​
