Itinerary: | |||||||
Ever wanted to try trail running? Or you're
just getting started. Come out for an intro
into trail running or just come along if you're
a seasoned pro. Our pace will be very very slow
(mainly because I’m a slowpoke and arthritic
but its around 8-8:30k/min for the
timekeepers). You should have some basic
running fitness in place or have done a lot of
fast hiking. We'll be power hiking up the
teenie hills and slow running down the other
side. If you’re brand new, you might want to do
a few runs before first. If you’re a pro and
already speedy you’ll have to do loop backs to
meet the group and you get bonus miles and
elevation gain.
Highly recommend trail running shoes instead of
pavement runners, we'll not be touching
pavement except for a tiny bit. Dress
accordingly for weather. Apres-run after at a
nearby café watering hole for rehydration.
Note: The trail may slippery with early winter conditions, bring along icers if needed, or work your way around the slippery stuff.
Distance: Approx 6 km.

How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | We'll be meeting in the Glenmore South carpark located at Oakmount Drive SW and 90th Ave SW. It is NOT the one at the Glenmore Sailing School. From Glenmore Trail head south on 14th SW, make a right at 90th Ave SW going west, keep heading west until the road ends. There is a carpark there on the right. If you see a water park/playground/boats you're not in the right place. | ||||||
