FBC’s Trail to Ale™ Challenge is a popular and fun, mountain and beer-filled Fernie adventure, hosted by Fernie Brewing Co. And, while a tough day on the trails awaits, the views, glory and cold beer is worth every stroke or step.
The Challenge consists of bagging three Fernie peaks, on bike or foot in any order, within a 24hr period. Open to bikers, runners or hikers, you have to get to the top of Hyperventilation, Project 9 and Swine Flu, within the 24hr time limit.
The challenge is seasonal. Be sure to check with Fernie Brewing Co., to confirm the official spring start date for each year. It generally starts in June, but may be earlier or later, depending on the snow melt.
