Itinerary: | |||||||
We will trail run The Douglas Fir Trail, a
route that goes up and down the escarpment
above the Bow River, east of Edworthy Park.
This is a short but reasonably strenuous trail
with lots of ups and downs. We will go east,
get to the Crowchild Trail Bridge and then
return the same way. There may be some small
variations of the exact route.
The pace will allow the group to continue
having a conversation while running. Those new
to trail running are welcome as we are not
speedy.
Distance ~ approx 8 km
