Itinerary:

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO GET IN SOME OUTDOOR EXERCISE, PLEASE JOIN ME THIS SUNDAY MORNING.

IN LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE WILL ALL BE REQUIRED TO KEEP A DISTANCE OF 2 METERS FROM EACH OTHER DURING THIS EVENT.

The Douglas Fir Trail traverses the escarpment above the Bow River, east of Edworthy Park. This is a short but reasonably strenuous trail run (or walk) with lots of ups and downs via stairs. We will run (or for those of who wish to walk) at a moderately brisk pace. If you prefer to walk, please check with the coordinator if there are any sign-ups who prefer to walk, or make sure you have a walking partner if you do not wish to walk alone.

We will meet on the SOUTH side of the river near where the pathway crosses the train tracks. (OPPOSITE side of the river to Angels Cafe). There is a parking lot right beside.

We will run (or walk) east, do the hike one way and return the same way. Total distance is approx. 7.5 km return. For those who plan to run, we will add a bit more distance to allow the walkers to complete the entire trail.

Required Items to Bring:

Good trail running (or walking) shoes
Microspikes (may be ice still)
Water

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
