If you've always wanted to go for a run dressed as something other than a runner, then here's your chance.

Super fun evening trot, with prizes for best dressed, and a post-run COVID-safe complimentary beer outside Stag Leap HQ. Sorry, no sharing a bottle of pecan whiskey mid-run this year, but don't let that deter you!

Meet at Elk Valley Nordic Centre for a 6PM start. All welcome - bring your buddies, your finest attire, and don't forget your headlamp!

We have placed four (4) sign posts in different locations on the trails around town. Prove you’ve completed each leg by taking a selfie at each of the four SNOW TO ICE signs within 72 hours! Bonus prize entries for multisport use! The Fernie Nordic Society trails will be free for non-members on Friday March 6, Saturday and Sunday March 8 to 7 pm. Join us at the Griz Days Full Moon ski at the Elk Valley Nordic Centre at 7 pm on Sunday for your ice cream prize. More chances for prizes for multi-sports while following the trail rules!

Have a great winter and don’t be afraid to show your love for the Fernie and Sparwood trails.

Fernie is such an attractive location for families for a variety of reason, but above all else because of the opportunities and amenities available for this younger cohort (and also those young at heart). As the number of families continues to grow, so does the programming, facilities and events.
