2012 Slack Ass

2 June 2012 - Slack Ass Start

Report: A great time was had by all. Luckily the rain held off until after the event was over - so the whole crew stayed dry. Chuck did some running around between groups so managed some extra distance... but the rest stuck together and enjoyed some great running - and even greater company!

2011 Slack Ass

12 June 2011 - Slack Ass Start

Report: We had a fabulous day on the Slack Ass course today. The 6k runners all came in together in about 43 minutes. The 13.1 mile runners came in at 2:18. On the half marathon course we saw a deer, a bunch of giant hares and hopped a bunch of boulders and dirt mounds. After the race we enjoyed some homeade pasta and beer/chocolate milk at Chiantis while our one 50 mile hero, Moe carried onto until the 65k mark in 8 hours .

2010 Slack Ass

13 June 2010 - Slack Ass Start

Report: It was a beautiful day despite a cold and rainy week with temperatures climbing into the high twenties. The 25k group seemed to finish just as the real heat came, while the 50mile Saskatoon runners braved the heat for the remainder of the day. Getting a bit turned around by Groat Bridge... and ending up on top of it, rather than under it, the 50 mile pair put on a few extra miles. The 25k group went off course slightly as well as they decided to run up the Snow Valley Ski Hill rather than finish the course off on the flat path beside it! Also note worthy is that this was Heidi's long run and she ran farther than a half marathon!

2009 Slack Ass

20 June 2009 - Starter Photo

Report: This was the Slack Ass's biggest year! Several people showed up for the 25k, one showed up to run 6k, and two runners take on the full 50 miles. The weather report warned of showers but not a drop of rain hit. Instead the whole day was filled with sunny sky and corresponding heat. The highlights of the day were spotting a deer in the Whitemud Ravine and dodging green worms hanging form the trees. The 50 mile runners both completed about 65k... one for a calf injury the other for an ice cream cone.

2007 Slack Ass

16 June 2007 - Slack Ass Starters

It was a small crowd that assembled to run the inaugural Slack Ass 50 in Edmonton.  Looks like they had fun anyway.  Alli and Chuck out did themselves crewing for Nathan and providing GPS data.  Nathan was thrilled (good on him for toughing out 50 miles on his own) with his first Club Fat Ass event and is thinking of starting an event in Lethbridge.  Way to go!
