In light of the recent stop the spike announcement from the Gov of AB, Run Club is suspended for now. We'll do our part to keep people safe & re-start when deemed safe to do so.
- Saturday, 8:30am
- Wednesday, 6:00pm
Workouts are here. A few rules for Run Club:
Do not talk about Run Club. Ok, no, here are the real rules: If you're feeling sick please don’t come. You attend at your own risk. 2 meters physical distancing maintained at all times When parking be mindful of residents. Meet out front of shop - no key-drop, no washroom, no water available inside shop. Be mindful of other trail users, give plenty of room. Fastest runners go 1st to minimize passing. No slinky (regrouping after intervals). Don't tailgate. No high fives, fist pumps. After workout complete, continue back to shop, no need to wait for entire group to congregate.
Running
Workouts will be a variety of tempo runs, long and short repeats/intervals and hills. We’ll use bike paths in winter, adding grass and trail in the warmer months. They’ll be time based out & backs suitable for most abilities. Warm-up & cool down are around 15 mins each, with the workout portion anywhere from 30-60 mins. Whether your goals are on the road, xc or trail, you’ll benefit from these workouts and have some fun along the way.
Skiing
Fast Trax is located close to Goldbar, Capilano and Goldstick Parks which offer kilometers of regularly groomed & illuminated trails.
