Thank you for your patience while the site was offline for some trail maintenance. We have tested the site and everything is running smoothly, but please do let us know, if you come across any loose boardwalks or big rocks on the trail!

Hi all, The First Half 1/2 Marathon is looking for volunteers. If anyone can spare some time on Sunday, Feb 10th, it would be very much appreciated and is a good way to give back to our community. Thanks Read on ... Hello all, we're still on the hunt for some volunteers. We're 45 volunteers short of last year and probably 25-30 short of where I'd like to be. If you haven't registered online or told me that you are volunteering, please do.

The site will be offline for scheduled maintenance on Monday, 28 January, between 9pm and 12pm PST. We apologize for the inconvenience.

This is a pre-boarding announcement for anyone interested in climbing on the Vancouver 100 train to pain in June. If you feel that you want to tackle the toughest annual Club Fat Ass event then I want to hear from you now. I want to know who you are and what you're made of. Do you like the currently scheduled date of the run or you would prefer it to be a week or two earlier or later? Would that make any difference to you? Either way it's still 100km with lots of ups and downs from Coast to Coast on the North Shore Mountains.

This is your last call to get your dibs in for the 2008 long sleeve, no stink, collectors Club Fat Ass Wear tech shirt.

I will finalize the order today. If you haven't taken out your 2008 membership yet and want the special shirt, please go to http://www.clubfatass.com/join and follow the prompts.

The 2008 shirts are expected to be ready towards the end of February. Members signing up or renewing after the order is in will receive the classic black t-shirt.

Registration for the Vancouver New Year's Day Fat Ass 50 is now closed. There will be no day-of-event registration, but if you missed the boat, there is always next year. Registration for 2009 will open in a few days.

While it's too late to take part in tomorrow's event, it is not (yet) too late to register/renew your annual membership and get your 2008 collectors shirt (no-stink, long-sleeve Chitosante tech shirt). Please note, only members registered before midnight tonight will be included in the shirt order. Members registering later will receive the classic black or blue club shirts while quantities last.

The 2007 Travelling Colours Contest is coming to an end.  This year all photos in the contest have been uploaded to Flickr and the "voting" is ongoing.  The photo deemed "most interesting" by Flickr will win.  Currently, Glenn Pace handcuffed in Texas is leading - who could beat that.  If you would like to take part in the decision process go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/travellingcolourscontest2007/interesting

The 2007 Club Fat Ass Point Series is coming to an end. Although there are no more events before now and New Year, there are still 3 more days to collect points through referals (tell your friends to sign up and if they mention your name on the sign-up from you will get a referal point) to get closer to the gift certificate for a pair of shoes provided for the winner by Kintech Footlabs in North Vancouver.

As the year is winding down, I would like to thank all of you for keeping Club Fat Ass alive. Our club wouldn't be what it is without all your support, ideas and help.

Tom Mills is the lucky winner of the 2008 membership refund. Tom has been a long time supporter and friend of Club Fat Ass. He is not a runner and actually purchased the membership for his son, Russell. Tom has been collecting lots of good Karma - and not because he is into collecting brownie points, but because he is a genuinely nice and thoughtful guy.
