A trail run just wouldn't be so without at least a few good
climbs. In this clinic our aim is to help you work on learning to climb
most efficiently and comfortably with a few simple techniques; and
with a little practice, this will equate to climbing faster, as well! Of
course we cannot eliminate gravity, but we most certainly can use less
energy as we work towards overcoming its force.
What goes up must inevitably come down. In trail running, descents can
often be on loose gravel or very technical, requiring good eyes, quick
footwork and a steady focus. We will also spend time building our
technique for moving downhill both quickly and safely.
Come join us as we enjoy an invigorating summer trail run out in Bragg Creek
