1997 - Year 4 - Vancouver New Year's Day Fat Ass 50 Run and Freeze Your Fat Ass Swim - Results

23 Starters

It was another excellent day in Lotusland for the fourth running of the Vancouver Fat Ass 50.  With over a foot of snow followed by torrential rains in the week leading up to the run, many questioned the very start of the event.  But as often happens in beautiful British Columbia, the skies parted, the seas calmed and we were blessed with a clear day... perfect for a long run.  Once again, Stamp's Landing Neighborhood Pub dished out an excellent post run spread.  Never missing the opportunity to thrill seek, Ean "Action" Jackson and Terry Lewis took their annual Fat Ass polar bear dip in the harbor.  It wasn't a surprise finding them first in the hot tub drinking copious quantities of beer and telling tales of past long runs.  Unofficial finish times ranged from 5:05 to 5:55.
