Dear Friends,
I have pride in offering you all, once again, the full range of events.
The 25 mile Ultra Walk, the "First Timers" Marathon, 50K, 50 mile, and 100K races.
Announcing a few new features this year.
Firstly, I moved the date to the second Saturday in May.
12th.May 2012 the date you should try and keep with your Ultra buddies, here in Victoria BC.I moved the date so that I could offer you, up Islanders and out of town guests, a group rate at the closest and best accommodation option for my race.
The Howard Johnson hotel on Elk Lake Drive is literally one mile from the start.
Island Runner of Fairfield Plaza, our sponsor has donated a limited edition "tech" T shirt for the first 60 athletes to register. this will have the classic multi-colour EB logo printing.
I will once again have 100 cotton/hemp tote bags with the same E/B logo.
The website should be corrected to indicate this soon and the online registration will commence as soon as I can.
Before then please contact me either through this forum with any questions...
or at:-

It's getting close!
Hopefully we will all achieve our true potential, or at least get real close!
Hotel code please
Hi Carlos,
A friend and I are signing up for our first ultra today and chose your event which was highly recommended. We anticipate walking a fair bit of the 50k and are doing it for fun and then will run most of it next year without the stress of a "first time ultra" We wanted to option to run too and have the additional challenge over the marathon length. Will you please let me know what the hotel code is so I can book that too.
All the best, Lori
Hotel Accomodation
Dear you,
Try this:-
Thank you for thinking of the Howard Johnson Hotel and Suites Victoria at Elk Lake for your accommodation needs.
Group name: Elk Beaver Ultra Marathons 2012
Dates: May 11-13, 2012
Group code: BE12
I think the offer has closed, but try them anyway.
They are the best bet by far, this is where the package pickup will be and the pre race shmooze.
Thanks
Thanks Carlos,
I was able to get the rate by calling the hotel directly and asking for the Elk Lake Ultra rate.
Cheers, Lori

That is good, I will set up the online next week and remember to mention the group rate when booking the Hotel. I will give you a code.
One thing, you are not permitted to run in the Ultra Walk.
If you want to run do the 50K or the "First Timers" marathon, but if you win that event you will have to decline the trophy!That happened last year the first three women in the "FT" marathon had to fess up and DQ themselves.
Think carefully before you make your decision.
It's either 4 laps walking,4 and a bit for rookies(run but no win) or 50K ultra.Then it gets harder.
I'm running the 50K hopefully sub 5.
Carlos
Walking is good
I'm doing the BMO Marathon the Sunday before so I'll be more than happy to walk 4 laps besides I get more opportunity to take pictures walking than running. First timers, yup, that would be a lie.
I just registered at the hotel but can send them an email before May with the code. I did tell them I was in the event. Looking forward to it, great way to celebrate our 23rd year of married life ... me walking in circles and husband watching
Sign me up!
I'm there! Sign me up for the 25mile Ultra Walk. I'm making reservations at the Hojo right now! Can't wait
