At the 4th annual event we were greeted with fantastic weather, a great participant turnout, and an excellent aid station run by the one and only Mick McGuire.
Congratulations to Gary, Ted, and Patricia for their recording breaking 20km run times.
One bonus point went to Berglind for volunteering, without delay, for future CFA duties and one to Desmond for picking up garbage albeit it was a doggie poop bag. Eventhough, he did insist it was empty, we can never be certain. Mike Wakefield received two bonus points, one for picking up garbage and the other for presenting me, the Event Host, with a bouquet of maple leaves. Yes, this EH can be bought.
There was a great turnout at the Raven for our post race party. Amongst the draw prizes were two Trail Runner Magazine subscriptions, a variety of Kinesys products, great swag from North Shore Athletics, and three passes to Body World 3 – The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies.
This is my last year as the host of this event and I am very pleased to introduce Ann Taylor who will take over for next year. Currently, I am working on my next CFA project which will be an epic adventure in Squamish. For those of you who know me well there will be no technical trails, no hiding in bushes and lots of uphill running.
Thanks to all who participated and, of course, to our sponsors. See you all again next year!
