- This event has passed.
Join us to celebrate alternative thru-hikes of the Appalachian Trail and send off a group of Appalachian Trail thru-hikers starting their flip-flop route in Harpers Ferry!
This free community event is sponsored by the Trail & Town Alliance of Harpers Ferry & Bolivar, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the towns of Bolivar and Harpers Ferry, WV, the town of Brunswick, MD, and River & Trail Outfitters.
With hiking workshops, pack shakedowns, and a send-off breakfast for flip-floppers, the Flip-Flop Kickoff is a great excuse to visit Harpers Ferry, a scenic and historic town in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and a great way to start your flip flop thru-hike! Camping is available at the Brunswick Family Campground and a shuttle between Brunswick and Harpers Ferry is provided by River and Trail Outfitters and the towns of Harpers Ferry, Bolivar, and Brunswick.
