**Update - January 31**
The run is planned to be about 8 Kms. Right now the route is a mess so route decisions will be made Saturday. Regardless, run or not, the party will go on; 3339 Tennyson.
Run starts at 4:00. This will be a run in and around the trails of North Vancouver followed by a full-on traditional Robbie Burns celebration with elements of poetry, music, swordsmanship, address to the haggis, feasting, drinking of Scotch (and perhaps Irish) whisky. The run will start and end at Karen Magnussen (marked 1 on map) so you can use the facilities to change and shower if needed. Approximate route is shown on the map.
Party starts at 6:30. Potluck. Please bring an appie or desert as well as your bagpipes and an appetite for boiled guts and oatmeal in a sheep's stomach. Please also pair up with another couple of participants to buy a nice bottle of whisky for the tasting. Wear your kilt if you have one and at least a good fake Scottish accent if you don't. If you play an instrument suitable for a ceidligh, bring it. The party will be at my house, 3339 Tennyson, only a few blocks from Karen Magnussen.
May be prizes for the most appropriate attire and best poetry reading!

Wantonness for ever mair,
Wantonness has been my ruin
Yet for a' my dool and care,
It's wantonness for ever!
I hae lov'd the Black, the Brown,
I hae lov'd the Fair, the Gowden:
A' the colours in the town
I hae won their wanton favour.
