Calling all fitness enthusiasts, the 802 Challenge is back for 2026! The legendary stairwell opens each Tuesday in March from 4-7pm. Come for a leisurely climb or test your mettle with multiple laps. Come for the climb, stay for the view.
Let's meet at 4:15 in the coat rack room (at the base of the stairwell, past the ticketed reception) and start climbing before 4:30. You can climb as many times as you want until 7:00. You can also arrive earlier and start climbing a lap before meeting the rest of the group.
This is the event finale for 2026, so we will go for drinks and a meal at the Sky 360 Restaurant and Lounge after our training, around 7:30 pm. Let me know in advance if you do not plan to stay for the drinks/meal. Bring a small backpack so that you can carry all your clothes/gear up the stairs on your last lap. You can only leave them at the base of the stairs until about 7:30.

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.
