Mountain Highway Madness is coming up soon.

Mountain Highway Madness is an interval run. About 15K long, in the woods
on a wide, dirt and gravel road... it goes up and down a big mountain in
North Vancouver. While you don't need a doctor's certificate, you have to
be at least a bit crazy to even consider the challenge. Details at:

Shoot for bragging rights and a place in the records book. Word on the
street is that someone might go for the second level of Platinum this

These guys could use some runners to kick off the inaugural year. It doesn't sound particularly easy, either :)
