The route has been used for the annual Colin Hudson Memorial Great Train Hike since 2003. The hike usually takes place on the third Sunday in February. Conceptualized by Dr. Colin Hudson, an environmentalist and avid hiker and then supported by the Barbados National Trust, the hike now attracts more than 400 hikers and runners. Since 2018, a separate Mountain Bike event is held on the following weekend.
More information about the late Dr. Colin Hudson can be found on BajanThings.
Contact the Barbados Hiking Association for more information about the annual hike.
