Fall Maintenance Clinic 2026

Whether you're returning for another season or joining us for the very first time, welcome! Our Fall Trail Running Clinic is designed to help you become a stronger, more confident trail runner while having a lot of fun along the way.

Clinic Dates

September 9th – November 15th

Who is this clinic for?

This clinic is perfect for:

• Newer trail runners looking to build confidence.

• Experienced runners wanting to improve endurance and strength.

• Athletes training for late-season races or building a strong foundation for next year.

• Anyone who enjoys being part of an encouraging, supportive community.

You don't have to be fast. You just need a willingness to show up and challenge yourself.

Our Focus This Fall

Unlike our spring clinic, which prepares runners for race season, the fall clinic is all about maintenance and building durability.

Our goal is to:

• Build long-lasting endurance.

• Improve climbing strength.

• Increase stamina without overtaxing the body.

• Develop better trail skills and confidence.

• Prepare you for winter training.

• Keep running fun and consistent.

The longest scheduled run will be approximately 3 hours, allowing us to maintain fitness while giving your body a chance to recover from a busy race season.

Weekly Schedule

Wednesday Evenings

Our coached group workouts include a variety of sessions such as:

• Hill training

• Tempo efforts

• Endurance workouts

• Technical trail skills

• Strength-focused sessions

• Descending technique

• Trail efficiency

• Pacing practice

Every workout has options so runners of different abilities can train together.

Saturdays

Our weekend adventures are all about time on the trails.

We'll explore some of the Okanagan's best trail systems while gradually building endurance in a relaxed, social atmosphere. These are not races—everyone is encouraged to run their own pace.

Please note: On Saturday, September 19, there will be a self-led long run, as our coaching team will be hosting the Freaky Creeky Trail Race.

What You'll Learn

Throughout the clinic we'll cover topics including:

• Trail running technique

• Climbing and descending efficiently

• Nutrition and hydration

• Race strategies

• Injury prevention

• Recovery

• Mental toughness

• Gear selection

• Training principles

You'll leave with knowledge you can use long after the clinic ends.

Community Matters

One of the best parts of BB&Bro's is the people.

Our clinics are known for being welcoming, supportive, and encouraging. Lifelong friendships have started on these trails, and no one gets left behind.

We celebrate personal victories just as much as podium finishes.

What to Bring

For most Wednesday sessions:

• Trail running shoes

• Water or hydration pack

• Weather-appropriate clothing

• Headlamp (later in the season)

• Positive attitude

For Saturday runs:

• Hydration pack

• Nutrition/snacks

• Extra layers depending on weather

• Phone for safety

• Any personal medications

What Success Looks Like

Success isn't measured by pace or distance.

Success means:

• Feeling stronger.

• Becoming more confident on technical terrain.

• Running longer with less fatigue.

• Building consistency.

• Learning something new each week.

• Enjoying every adventure.

Whether your goal is your first trail race, your next ultra, or simply enjoying time in the mountains, this clinic will help you get there.

We can't wait to hit the trails with you this fall. Let's build strength, confidence, and a community that keeps growing—one trail at a time.
