| The Transit Relay's route begins at Toronto Pearson International Airport on a Sunday morning at 7:00 AM. The inaugural leg sees [[User:SGuySMW|SMW]] board a flight to [[Newfoundland and Labrador]]'s provincial capital of [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador|St. John's]]. From there, the team will hand off the baton to the first of many teams that will take it across all ten of Canada's provinces. It will eventually arrive at [[British Columbia]]'s provincial capital of [[Victoria, British Columbia|Victoria]], located on Vancouver Island. From there, the baton will be flown to [[Iqaluit]], the territorial capital of [[Nunavut]], before stopping at the [[Northwest Territories]] and [[Yukon]].
| |
| ===[[Alaska]] and the contiguous [[United States]]===
| |
| After arriving at Yukon's territorial capital of [[Whitehorse]], the American portion of the UTR will begin in the adjacent exclave of [[Alaska]]. From there, the baton will fly to [[Washington]] before zigzagging across the country into the southern tip of [[Florida]].
