It’s an amazing sight, and what makes it extra-special is the neighbourly feel that abounds.

Already featuring spectacular Main Stage headliners Rascal Flatts, Toby Keith and Blake Shelton, Panhandle Productions is proud to announce an additional array of fantastic country music entertainers that bring the 2012 talent line-up to near completion.However, the best may be yet to come.

Blitz Duathlon 2012
Bragg Creek
September 22, 2012
6.7km run, 19km bike, 2.4km run
The 4th Annual Blitz Duathlon will be held in beautiful Bragg Creek west of Calgary, AB. We had such great feedback on the course for 2011 course, we're keeping it the same for this year. The course leaves from Allen Bill Pond and features a 6.7km trail run along Fullerton Loop, a 19km road bike on Hwy 66 (out and back), and then a 2.4km trail run around Allen Bill Pond. Yes, this means you'll have to tackle the Fullerton Loop Hill AGAIN, but we know you're looking forward to the challenge of beating your 2011 time. ;)
