We are excited that you are considering joining us on September 7th to challenge your mind, body and spirit! We want to offer you a choice of rides that is suitable to your fitness level and we want to include everyone in your family. Please be aware that by Alberta Transportation recommendations, we cannot allow anyone under the age of 10 years old on the open course. We are exploring some closed course options for our youngest participants.
