Vancouverites can grind out 600-plus stairs in the heart of downtown next month

The Harbour Centre Urban Grind happens each Tuesday in March

If running up a huge building is your ball of wax, the Harbour Centre Urban Grind is for you.

Given the weather that’s plagued Vancouver the last few months, there’s a good chance your Instagram feed has been woefully lacking shots of you getting your grind on.

Fear not.

The fifth annual Harbour Centre Urban Grind is back on successive Tuesdays beginning March 5 and runs through til the end of the month.

Run up tons of stairs, listen to music played on a laptop and finish the whole thing off by replenishing the calories you just worked tirelessly to burn — a beer awaits you at the top along with a $5 Harbour Centre Food Court voucher.

The uber fit among us also have the option to run the 633 steps as many times as they desire during the two-hour jaunt, which runs 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. weekly.

Coat check is by donation and all proceeds will go to mental health initiatives via the Kettle Society.

Run dates are March 5, 12, 19 and 26 and the Harbour Centre is located at 555 West Hastings St.
