Itinerary:
Need to get fit from the holiday season? Come join me for an intense workout at the Memorial Drive/Curling club stairs.

We will meet at the bottom of the stairs at 6:00. After one hour of exercise we will meet again to stretch.

There are 120 feet, 167 steps, (~40m) of McHugh's Bluff to climb up. Start at the level you are comfortable with and work your way up. Just remember it's supposed to be training, so it ought to be a bit tougher than a hike.

The stairs are a great way to get into shape or stay in shape and improve your overall stamina over the winter season.

Route #1:
There are 167 steps up the stairs (works the thighs a lot), and then walk down the bike path to catch your breath.

Route #2:
Speed walk (aka fast!) up the bike path heading east and come down the stairs. You should feel it in your hips if you go fast enough.


Required Items to Bring:
- Water
- Headlamp
- Appropriate clothing, mitts, toque
Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
