Although the first race in the 5 Peaks series has come and gone, the next one is just around the corner...time for more training! Come join us for a 'start to summer' evening trail run at Telephone Loop in West Bragg Creek! A fantastic training run to get you geared up for the next 5 Peaks race. Before the run, our discussion topic is Clothing & Equipment for trail running. When running in the mountains, one needs to be prepared for all sorts of weather. We'll show off some of the great trail running-specific clothing out there, and what sorts of clothing/equipment you should always have on hand for those sudden changes in weather in the mountains.
