Only a few days  to go until the third running of Bill's Great Peak Ascent.  This run is a great opportunity to keep in prime trail-running shape (or to work towards it :-) and is a great fit for those interested in running STORMY (which I'd recommend) in early August.

Post-event get-together is at the Mosquito Creek Grill and, as always, participants are entitled to one beer on the house as well as the usual assortment of door prizes.

The North Idaho Kick Ass 25/50 is coming up July 1.  Enjoy wonderful the wonderful trails and terrain near Copper Falls.  Event Host Keith Thompson has spared no trouble to make sure you have a great time.  He organized 4 aid stations and there will be a bonfire in the evening after the run.  Find out more and register here!








Copper Falls - North Idaho

Hello

I just want to inform everyone that this year is the last chance for a course record on this course. Next year there will be a slight change. Instead of heading up the BP to Old Buck, next year the race will branch off and head up Three Chop Trail to Old Buck. A much steeper and longer climb.

I think that will make the course more demanding and a greater challenge.  

Mark your calendar for the Go Deep and Go Home on August 26. This year marks another year where 4 pair of Montrail are up for grabs to anyone completing any of the distances. No one ever has completed the 80km yet and if they do, I might consider having a special 1 pair for the 80km distance.

As always there will be other great prizes but definitely the Montrail shoes are the top prize for all you trail running folk.

The Vancouver 100 will start this Saturday, 3 June at 4:30am in Deep Cove.  10 Ultrarunners and their support crew will toe the start line to complete a 100km long out and back run on the Baden Powell Trail from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay and back. 

The pub is booked, the door prizes plentiful, so come out and raise a toast to the Enduro! There's one catch - you have to run 6-hours first. The Enduro is a 6-hour run on a 7km loop course in the LSDR. Great training run for those running summer 100 milers. Not up to 6 hours? Get some buddies together and run the Enduro as a relay. For more information, check out the Enduro website.

Join the Coquitlam Fat Asses this Saturday for a 22km trail run. Aptly named "Run To The Clouds", you can expect fantastic views of the Greater Vancouver area and over 2000 vertical feet (or 600 metres) of elevation gain/loss. More details and registration here.

As part of their BC launch, and the first of the Impact Magazine Speaker Series presentations, Impact invites you to join them, and guest speaker Cale Dougans, (B.Hk, CSCS). Cale will be discussing preventative training methods for runners and athletes that effect the entire recreational population.
