Dryland Program 2021

Our competitive program registration includes dryland training sessions held every Sunday from 10:00 am to noon at Glen Eden or event location, beginning on October 3rd and ending on November 28th. Program participation is not mandatory but is a great way for athletes to work on their fitness to prepare for the racing season. The program offers a variety of fun and challenging activities supervised by MHRC coaches focused on improving the athlete’s overall level of fitness. Participants will be engaged in various outdoor endurance and strength activities plus additional fee-based activities including mountain biking, indoor ski ramp and climbing zone (these activities are supervised by external trained and certified instructors). All activities are limited to athlete participation. If parents only want to spectate, they will need to register separately through the HRCA reservation system  (https://book.parkpassproject.com/book?inventoryGroup=1554186518).  It is mandatory that AOA (Alpine Ontario Association) registration is completed to ensure athletes have insurance coverage.

Registration is required in advance of each Sunday session on Team Snap (*links below on each event/time slot) and complete online payment for activities where required.  Registration is required by Noon on the Friday before each Sunday session.  For the two non-Kelso based activities, registration will close earlier (details to be announced) as the venues require extra notice of anticipated numbers.

Participants are requested to wear weather appropriate athletic clothing, bring face masks, personal water bottles and a yoga-style mat for ground cover. There are no make-up sessions for weather related cancellations or non-attendance.
