I have ran my PARE test about 6 times now with 3 different companies. The most recent two were with Blue Line and they have been my best experiences by far. The environment is amazing, the other runners will cheer for you while you run and Nikki is the best. She will guide you through the entire test while you’re running it. When it gets hard and you feel like giving up she will yell, cheer, and encourage you to push through the pain to your absolute limit so you pass the test. The environment contributes so much to your success in the test. Even if you’re in Calgary this is worth the drive, it’s the best place to run by far.
