Craving an epic workout and missing the Grouse Grind? Vancouver’s annual Urban Grind is coming back this March for another year of burning leg muscles!
The Urban Grind is a popular weekly event hosted every Tuesday in March at Vancouver’s Harbour Centre. It boasts a 633-step climb that takes participants to the top of the tower for amazing views over the city.
If you’re ready to get seriously in shape for the summer season, the Urban Grind is a unique way to start building those essential hiking/biking/running/climbing muscles!
This is the 6th time that the Vancouver Harbour Centre will be hosting the popular Urban Grind – and this year, there will be five Tuesdays for you to participate!
Climb all the way to the top and you’ll be rewarded with a stunning 360º aerial view of Vancouver, a refreshing beer, and DJ entertainment. Additionally, every participant will receive a $5 voucher for Harbour Centre’s Food Court and shops!

While participation costs $5, which includes unlimited climbs. Considering all the freebies included, you’ll be making your money back easily with the free voucher and refreshing beer!
Climbers have the ability to customize their workout by completing the route as many times as they like during the allotted time. On March 31, timing chips will be available for people who want to race to the top or set a personal record.
Coat check will be available for a minimum donation of $2 per item. All proceeds will benefit The Kettle Society, a local mental health charity.
If you’re hoping to climb the equivalent of Grouse Mountain, you’ll have to do the whole thing about five times (the Grouse Grind features ~2,830 steps!)
Itching for an intense workout that also gives you a nice excuse to enjoy a beer (and maybe a burger), check out the Urban Grind at the Vancouver Lookout starting on March 3, 2020.
