Thursday, October 29, 2020
Time: 
6:00pm - 9:00pm

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!

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.
