Breakey's Backcountry Bootcamp is back for the 4th
year running!
Shoulder season is training season! This "backcountry
bootcamp" will focus on exercises to get us fit for
ski season. Sessions will be held every Wednesday
evening for about 9 weeks (until the week of the
Vert180 Skimo race - date TBC). You will obviously
get maximum benefit from attending all sessions, but
that's not required - just come along whenever you
can. In early December, we can test our new-found
fitness by participating in the Vert180 at COP (a 3
hr ski mountaineering race, for individuals or
teams). Signing up online is really appreciated so I
know how many people to expect at any given session.
Sessions may include: Running (warm-up, fartlek,
intervals, hill reps) Plyometrics (e.g. split jumps)
Weight-training (mainly body weight) Resistance
band(e.g. hip adductor) Core exercises Squat thrusts,
burpees etc
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Running shoes and clothing.
Headlamp.
Small red turtle light for running on the pathways
Layers, toque and gloves when it starts to get
chilly.
Mat (a piece of yellow foam sleeping pad works well)
for when the ground gets snowy/wet
ENTHUSIASM!

This park is easy to get to, being right off 16th Ave
and just one block off the river pathway for the
cyclists. There is ample free parking on the South
side of the road (right next to the park). Just don't
park on the North side of the road, which is permit
only. We'll meet by the playground. It's a great
space for our exercises, and we are a short run to
Edworthy for warm up and hills.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
