Feeling excited about Grizzly and a little unsure what you signed up for?

You are in exactly the right place. This half day camp is built for runners who are new to trail, new to the Grizzly Ultra, or new to both. We take four hours to work through the gear, the fuelling, the terrain, and the mindset so that you show up in Canmore knowing what to expect and trusting yourself to handle it.

Paskapoo Slopes is our classroom for the day. The climbs, the descents, and the mixed footing here are the closest thing Calgary has to what you will meet on race day, so everything we practice transfers directly.

This is a guided coaching experience with plenty of stops, demos, and time to ask all the questions.

What To Expect

We take the full four hours to go from gear talk to trail time to race day questions, with plenty of stops for instruction and hands on learning along the way. Paskapoo Slopes gives us the climbs, descents, and mixed footing that come closest to what you will meet in Canmore, so everything we practice transfers straight to race day.

During the camp, we’ll:

Talk gear and see demos of poles, vests, belts, layers, and bear spray
Review fuelling and hydration options, and start building a plan for your leg or distance
Learn a trail specific warm up you can use before every run
Head out for 1 to 1.5 hours on trail with coaching along the way
Practice uphill running, power hiking, downhill technique, and navigating roots, rocks, and single track
Close with a guided cool down, Grizzly course and logistics chat, and open Q&A

Who It's For:

This camp is for you if you:

Are running your first Grizzly Ultra, solo or as part of a relay team
Are newer to trail running and want real instruction before race day
Feel nervous about technical terrain, steep climbs, or long descents
Want to know what gear you actually need before you spend money on it
Have questions about fuelling for a longer day out
Want to meet other runners who are heading to the same start line

Every pace and every experience level is welcome. We run this as a group with lots of regrouping built in, so nobody gets dropped.

You’ll Leave With:

Practical trail technique you can use immediately
A clear picture of the gear that matters for Grizzly
A fuelling starting point to test out in your remaining long runs
A warm up and cool down routine that is yours to keep
Course and logistics knowledge for race weekend
New connections with runners in the Calgary trail community
A whole lot more confidence in what you are capable of

Space is limited!

We are capping this camp to keep it hands on and give everyone real coaching time, so grab your spot early.
