Come for an evening workout of hiking up Prairie Mountain; the ultimate training grounds for our upcoming summer hiking!

The event will go ahead if there are showers but may be cancelled if there are likely to be thunderstorms or heavy rain. An email will be sent by 4:00pm on Wednesday if we have to cancel the event.

You will be hiking at your own pace but will need to turn around and head back down regardless of your position after 80 minutes to ensure we have enough light to see going down.

Note this hike is NOT suitable for beginners as we will hike at a brisk or fast pace. The group may split depending on your individual pace.

For those who may be interested - after returning to the carpool location, we can head over to the Seanachie Irish Pub (one of Calgary's Best Pubs) for the COC $5.00 combo - 5 jumbo wings and a 20 oz. pint of any of Calgary's Best Pubs own Gas Lamp Craft Beers.
