2013 - Year 11 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

Capilano Canyon Night Run Mardigras - 2013 Starter Photo

16 February  2013 - Starter Photo
   17 Starters - 17 Finishers
 
Ask 20 trail runners what they think about running in the night. You'll be lucky to find that even 2 of them have even dared to try skipping over the roots and rocks of their favorite trails after the sun has gone down.
 
An eclectic group of characters assembled by a deserted sports field in North Vancouver last night looking to celebrate Fat Tuesday in a different way.  Several had never run trails in the night.  We had representatives of South African, Germany and France and at least one person who was born in the neighborhood and could literally run the course with his eyes closed.

In this the 11th edition of the Capilano Canyon Mardi Gras night run, nobody pulled a Mikey Parks ("What, you mean I need to bring a flashlight?"), so we managed to start on time.
 
The group quickly split into two, with about a third challenging the long course and the balance out to tackle the 13K.   As with all Club events, participants follow either written instructions or someone who knows the course.   Shem and Craig were having so much fun chatting, they missed the first turn and ran straight up Mosquito Creek toward the snow-covered mountains.  This is what we call a "custom" or "roll-your-own" course.
 
I had the pleasure of running with 3 enthusiastic people whose eyes were being opened to running in the dark.  Joanna, Brent, Valerie and I found a comfortable pace as we ran along deserted side streets toward the canyon. Goodness, I thought, if we could maintain this speed, we could claim bragging rights for being top finishers!
 
One couldn't have hoped for a better night for a night run in February.  You could look up and see stars if you dared to take your eyes off the trail for a couple of seconds.  Given the unseasonably warm weather, it wasn't long before the layers started to be pealed.  On the long straightaway leading down to the fish hatchery, we looked back and saw the bobbing lights of other pace groups piercing the inky darkness.  We paused briefly on the narrow trail up the west side of the canyon and shone our headlamps on Grandpa Capilano, the 500-year old giant of the canyon.  Nobody's light was powerful enough to highlight the top of the tree.
 
We paused again briefly just under the hour mark at Aid Station Adams, a friendly oasis with chocolate chip cookies, water and salty potato chips. Thank you, Ron Adams, for all you do to help those who pass by in the night in February and August!
 
"Hey, I know where we are!", exclaimed Joanna when we popped out of the woods next to a grocery store where street lights illuminated the surroundings.  Back on the trail next to Mosquito Creek, it was back to following a tiny tunnel of light.  Note to self...replace batteries in the headlamp or win the Mikey Parks award!
 
When all participants had been checked-in, we reconvened at the Harry Jerome rec center for a well-deserved soak in the hot tub and a few laps in the pool.  We pretty-much  had the place to ourselves.  It would have been easy to close the place down and hit the pillow, but by 9:30, consensus was it was time for dinner.
 
The final destination of the evening was a potluck feast.  Thanks to everyone, there was plenty of fine food and drink and an abundance of stories.  Yes, John did eat the worm.
 
Thank you for joining us.  We hope to see you out for the Midsummer Night Dream version of the Capilano Canyon Night run in August!

2012 - Year 10 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

Capilano Canyon Night Run Mardigras - 2012 Starter Photo

18 February  2012 - Starter Photo
   11 Starters -  11 Finishers
 
The 10th anniversary MardiGras version of the Capilano Canyon night run proved to be a test for the hard core of the Club.

It had rained all night.   On Saturday morning, it started to monsoon. Given the promise of liquid sunshine and near-freezing temperatures for the evening, my email InBox and voice mail was full with messages from folks who had second thoughts about toeing the line.  "Sorry, my plant died and I need to give it a decent burial," "My toenail is broken and I think I'd better let it recover" and similar excuses.  The rain had abated toward the end of the afternoon and it was looking like an ideal evening for a night run, but as I packed the car before setting off for the run start, the rain started to fall again.   I confess I was thinking up a good reason to bail, and secretly hoped nobody would show up.

It was inky dark when I arrived near the start.  The parking lot was full of soccer Moms and Dads and a game was going on under the floodlights.  Some of the spectators were jumping up and down and cheering... probably to stay warm.  The rest huddled under their umbrellas and looked as if they would rather be anywhere but where they were.  Craig appeared running through the mist in his yellow Club colors.  I got out of the car to greet him and was almost immediately drenched.  Much to my surprise, other Fat Asses arrived. I tried to think positive.  Mark reminded us that the website clearly states, "No whining", so we talked of other things.

Speeches were short, as everyone at the start was keen to get moving. Conroy announced he was going for the course record in the long course. Everyone else opted for the shorter route.  I thought about the hot tub and remembered that in my haste to pack a towel bathing suit, I didn't put fresh batteries in my headlamp.

It didn't take long to get warmed up and into a comfortable pace and a good conversation.  Most of the assembled multitude was relatively close in pace, so in front or behind, there were always lights bobbing around in the fog. Several participants were new to the night run, so we took the opportunity to shine our lights upward toward the rain and marvel at Grandpa Capilano (a massive Douglas Fir that was already big when Columbus set sail in 1492!) I shut my eyes.  The cool rain actually felt nice on my face. The first Conroy sighting was just after we said "Goodbye" to Grandpa Capilano. He was definitely running fast... but was he running the right way?

As we approached the big bridge over the TransCanada Highway, Eric and I passed a parked car with foggy windows.  I was tempted to shine my headlamp inside, but figured I'd cause 2 coronaries.  Imagine having your tender moment interrupted by some soaking wet guys wearing headlamps, one of whom appeared to be running barefoot?

Second Conroy sighting was near the fountain at Capilano Road and Ridgewood. 'Still running fast.  Definitely not the right way!

Back at the finish line, there was no messing-around on the part of the runners.  After signing out, we made a bee-line for the Harry Jerome rec
center where the hot tub was steaming.  As always with this event, the vibe of "teen night" at the pool was interrupted by the presence of a bunch of giddy adult runners.  Reagan used his skills of persuasion to get the pool staff to spark-up the slippery slide.  Apparently, the scream I let out inside the slide was heard across the street at the gala for the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival.

By 10:00, everyone was ravenous, so we headed back to my place for a potluck extravaganza that included Mardi Gras cake, Chinese steam buns, BBQ chicken, Sibylle's award-winning chili and fresh-baked buns, Mark's homemade chocolate granola bars and many other delicacies.  While the great debate about conspiracies raged in the kitchen, a potential new Club event that involves running,
knitting and drinking wine was being discussed in the living room.   John generously brought a bottle of mescal for desert and poured 3-finger shots in large water glasses for all who dared to join him.  Thankfully, the gusanito remained safe in the bottom of the bottle.  Until next year?

A big "Congrats!" to everyone who braved the elements and "Thank you" to all who contributed to the pot luck.  Sibylle and I look forward to seeing you at the start line of the Midsummer Night Dream edition of the night run in August.

2011 - Year 9 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

 

19 February  2011 - Starter Photo
  26 Starters - 26 Finishers
 
A clear, crisp evening greeted night runners as they assembled behind Griffin gym in North Vancouver for the 9th annual version of this winter classic run. Given the low-key nature of this event, participants often take a low key approach to preparing for it.   As co-host of this event, I have observed over the years that my guests frequently overlook minor details. Things like start time, start location and the fact that a headlamp and running shoes are good things to bring along.   
 
While nobody won the Mike Parks "Oh, I forgot it was a night run" Award for neglecting to bring something along to light-up the dark trails, Baldwin deserves an honorable mention for forgetting to check his headlamp batteries before arriving at the start this year.  Maureen and Christine arrived plenty early, but were surprised to find no runners milling around the Cleveland Dam parking lot, while Wendy and at least one other person showed up at the start of the summer night run course. 
 
In spite of the minor start line dramas and talk of various species of cougar being spotted in the neighborhood, most of us did manage to set off promptly at 6:30 pm. The pace of both short course and long course groups was initially brisk, especially for those who opted to wear shorts. Given they had run anywhere up to 3.5 hours already today, Kristin, Wendy and Ryne and I agreed to keep our pace on the long course to something that would get us back to the finish in around 1:45 hours.  It didn't take us long to get warmed up as we made our way through the secret trails of the North Vancouver urban jungle. It was interesting to see the headlamps of runners on the short course lighting the forest as we dropped down onto an obscure section of single track along the wall of Capilano Canyon.  Also of note was the metallic, almost melodic sound of the spillway on Cleveland Dam being opened as we ran in the neighborhood of Grandpa Capilano. Kristen described the sound as being almost like that of whales conversing. 
 
Our group arrived at the finish seconds behind the last finishers of the short course and it was all high-5s.  As we headed to the cars, we spotted a coyote heading back down the trail.
 
The tradition of the MardiGras version of the Capilano Canyon Night Run sees us head over to the local rec center where we warm up in the hot tub and sauna and frolic in the pool until we are thrown out. The rec center was closed for maintenance this year, so the potluck party started early. A blazing fireplace and the scent of great food welcomed us for the final leg of the event. Kelly and Ran were first to claim a seat in front of the fire. They were thawed-out and roasted to perfection within a half-hour.  
 
Several new Club members and night runners were acknowledged and welcomed. Thanks to Kintec and TrailRunner Magazine, many night runners came away with hardware, but I had to dig deep for award categories as nobody apart from Conroy got lost (he always gets lost, so is DQ'd from winning) or injured.  Navid and Kristie got a well-deserved round of applause for setting up a great aid station and Ron Adams, who offered his back yard, was also recognized. Carlos the Jackal, who ran from Victoria, traveled the farthest to get to the start line. He challenged us lower-mainlanders to come over to the Island and join him at either the Elk Beaver Ultras, the Full Monty, or both. Other members shared details about the runs they were hosting over the next few weeks. It impressed me how the Club has grown over the past few years and how so many members are sharing their love of running and their favorite routes with others.
 
A big, fat "Thank you!" to everyone who contributed to the potluck buffet and congratulations to everyone who joined us.  'Hope to see you back in August for the Midsummer Night Dream edition of this night run.

2010 - Year 8 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

 

13 March 2010 - Starter Photo
  22 Starters -   22 Finishers

Report:This year was a special "Olympic" version of the famous Capilano Canyon night run.  What does that mean?  In the end, it meant nothing more than the run was postponed a few weeks from its traditional Mardi Gras time slot to not conflict with the once-in-a-lifetime party that was the Vancouver 2010 winter Olympics games.

The change in timing was a significant contributor to the character of the 8th annual night run, however.  Of note:

  • it was light when we started the night run so we could actually see ourselves in the starter photo!
  • the Dirty Duo trail run also changed dates, so many night runners had either run or volunteered earlier in the day
  • those who ran with Mardi Gras beads stood out a bit more than they normally would
  • given that clocks "spring forward" on Sunday morning, the post-event party seemed to go a bit later than usual

It was great to see many first time night runners and fat asses at the start.  Their nervous tension was almost palapable.  "Are the fat asses as hard-core as I heard they are?" "Will they drop me in some godforsaken
corner of the canyon?"  "Will I stumble over a root in the dark, fall off a cliff and never be heard from again?" and, of course, "Are there any skunks out there?"

Many of the starters rubbed or kissed our porker mascot for good luck. Runners separated into long and short distance groups.  The speaches were mercifully short.  Off into the night…

Photo left: Aidstation Adams equipped with PowerBar Gel Chews, Carbbooms, Oreos and chips!

The monsoons of earlier in the day had stopped, but the canyon was still dense with moisture.  In the beam of powerful headlamps, the mist and fog reflected the light creating a surreal running environment like running in a cloud where visibility was no more than a stride long.  Somewhere below you could always hear the rushing Capilano River.  Fellow runners could only be identified by firefly-like points of light on the trail and disembodied voices.

Island girls Katie and Lysanne opted to run in their dresses.  Katie chose the occasion to do little solo bushwhack.  I held my camera at the ready while running with Lysanne through the Mackay Creek Jungle section of the long course. Would she slip on one of the dicey little bridges along the canyons edge and slide into the quicksand?  Could I capture the moment?

While the weather was perfect for a night run, it wasn't long before the chill set in at the finish line.  Around 8:00 we decamped for the hot tub. Sorry, Bill.  Sorry, Michael.  'Didn't realize you were still out there!

Leg 2 of the event included hot shower, a long soak in the hot tub and some thrills and spills on the water slide.  (I hope to share a little video of this later in the week.)  By 9:30, runners were ravenous and desperate for a
celebratory beverage.

Leg 3:  The potluck party.  The table sagged with treats including seafood gumbo, Pat's phyllo-wrapped asparagus and goat cheese, JoJo's deviled eggs, Liselotte's Danish Apple Pie, Baldy's Tim Horton donut pudding, a variety of brownies and pies, and a spectacular and totally decadent chocolate cake thanks to Isabel.  A few lucky runners came away with hardware for their exploits thanks to TrailRunner magazine and Kintec. There was much trail talk and sharing of upcoming events and road trips. Kudos to Des and Jess for picking up trash while out on the trail.  The evening concluded with a beautiful fireside slide show of Bill and Jess's trip to Ghana and their traditional African wedding.

Thank you for joining us.  Hope to see you back closer to Mardi Gras next year!

2009 - Year 7 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

Club Fat Ass Event - Capilano Canyon Night Run Mardigras

21 February 2009 - Starter Photo
  29 Starters -  29 Finishers

As I was greeting runners at the start last night, it occurred to me that the MardiGras Night Run had grown up.

Why’s that, you ask?  No, not so much that it’s been an annual cult gathering for 7 years running.  Not because the event now attracts more than a handful of nutcases with headlamps.  Not because there were now starters from as far away as Singapore or Switzerland, either.  No… what impressed me the most as I stood in the parking lot checking folks in was that our little event boasted two portable toilets next to the start line… just like a “real” race!

This year, starters were blessed with clear skies, temperatures just below freezing and perfect winter night running conditions.  It was great to welcome friends and veteran Capilano Canyon night runners, but I was especially surprised to see so many keen first time night runners.  Are we at the forefront of  a new running trend?

Roxy the Ultradog howled with excitement as we took the obligatory starter photo, separated into short and long-course groups and headed off into the night.

The massive dump of snow around Christmas had melted away except for a couple of spots in the deepest, darkest corners of Capilano Canyon.  We had to jump the occasional tree branch or duck under a blown-down pine, but generally the course was clear of significant obstacles.  Brendan surprised everyone with an aid station in the middle of Capilano Canyon.  Bryce and Ron hosted Aid Station Adams and requested that all passing runners complete a hop-scotch obstacle course after filling up on potato chips and chocolate cookies.

Out for a romantic interlude next to the moonlit Capilano River, a couple must have wondered when they’d be able to get on with it, as wave after wave of night runners passed with bright headlamps and loud trail talk.   No bears were spotted as we made our way down the dark trails, and the skunk that welcomed us at Aid Station Adams last year didn’t show up again.  We did smell him, though (or so it seemed), as we passed a gathering of teens on Bowser Trail who were interrupted as they passed around the peace pipe.

Adrian, who sported spanking new, fire engine red runners, commented at the finish that he didn’t step in a single mud hole on the entire 17km long course.  A new course record!  In my own cruel way, I had hoped that someone on the long course would slide off one of the slippery logs into Mackay Creek.  Maybe next year?

As always, the second leg of the MardiGras night run at the Lonsdale Rec Center pool was a blast.  There were no wrassles on the hanging ladder and no games of murderball, as in past years, but most runners enjoyed the water slide, the sauna and the hot tub.  Several compared injuries from poolside.

The MardiGras theme continued at the party with crab jambalaya, eggplant casserole, fresh gingersnap cookies, diet-busting double chocolate cake and a host of other delicacies.  Thanks to everyone for making it a fine potluck.

Thanks to Kintec, Kinesys and Trailrunner, there were prizes for the farthest travelled, best surprise aid station, first night run and best boo-boo.  Leading up to the announcement of the Survive Outside seminar later this week, Baldwin and others shared their adventures about getting into trouble while on the trails.

Doug Keir shared his experience of finding an airplane crash site while bushwacking one day and the next thing you knew, we had all of the elements of a new Club Flash event… this one along the north shore mountains to at least 3 airplane crash sites that Club Fat Ass members had either found or stumbled across while out on trail runs! 

By the time the booze ran out and the party cooincidentally ended around 2:00 am, we had solved most of world’s problems… not a bad outcome for a little night run!

We look forward to seeing you in August for the Midsummer Night Dream version of the Capilano Canyon Night Run. Until then, happy night running.

Your hosts
Sibylle and Ean

Special Mention:

Kudos to Carlos the Jackal who ran to the start from Victoria, BC, completed the night run, the pool party and the potluck party.  He bunked the night and, hoping to get an early start on his run home, got up before the rest of the household.  Call it force of habit, we put the alarm on before hitting the sack, but forgot to tell Carlos.  The whole neighborhood awoke to the sound of a wailing alarm.  Dho... Sorry, bro!

Check out Carlos' video here:



Lost and found:

  • veteran summer night runner Terry Lewis.  Terry didn’t clue into the warnings about different start/finish for the summer and winter versions of this event.  I received his sorrowful voice mail message about not being able to find the start soon after being woken by the burglar alarm this morning
  • Adrian Rothwell, who made the start, got to the pool, found the beer store, but didn't find the party last night.  Missed you, bro.  'Wanted to check those red runners for traces of mud
  • John Machray, who neglected to give the cap on his oil pan one last ½ turn and ended up blowing oil all over his driveway minutes before the start. Missed the run. Missed the pool.  Found the party and closed it down sometime after 2:00am
  • 1 laptop bag. Brendan, I think it’s yours

2008 - Year 6 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

16 February 2008 - Starter Photo
26 Starters - 27 Finishers

There were several firsts at the 6th annual Mardi Gras version of the Capilano Canyon Night Run. First first, it was an absolutely gorgeous evening. While there were a few rain drops as we assembled at the start, they soon gave way to clear skies, stars and perfect running temperatures. Second, try as I might I could not find anyone to claim a Purple Heart award. I don't think we've ever had no boo-boos in this run. Third, a new game was invented during the pool party segment of this event. Not sure if it should be called Aussie Rules Monkey Bars or Ultimate Fighting above the Pool?

As always, several runners created their own custom routes through the dark trails of North Vancouver. Ryan C and his trusty hound Shazam did a long loop of the Cap Canyon. I suspect Danielle and Ryan M ducked into the woods for some belated Valentine's Day action, as I sure didn't see them out along the course. Kristie and Marie did an out-and back before the canyon, but at least they checked in with me.

It was very foggy in the Capilano Canyon itself... so foggy some runners had to turn their headlamps off to see. (Hint from an experienced night runner: take your lamp off your head and hold it near your waist just like the low beams on your car.)

From our perspective at Aid Station Adams, it was very cool to see the approaching headlamps bobbing like fireflies in the clear night. Young Erik tried to scare the crap out of everyone who approached the comfort stop. Everyone who ran the full route was greeted with decadent chocolate chip cookies, chips and pretzels... at least until 7:45 when we had to shut it down to make the finish line on time.

The hot tub was working and so was the water slide for the pool party this year. Ran started a game of murder ball and was also the first to take a direct hit. Csaba won the game of WWE wrestling on the ropes high above the pool and I was the poor loser. (My neck is still sore, dude!) Pitty the poor teenagers who had to deal with endorphin-charged adults in the hot tub and water slide!

By 10:00 pm, appetites were in the red zone and a fabulous pot luck feast was waiting. So much great food! Ellie, Jessica and Bill told us running adventure stories and won some nice prizes for sharing thanks to Kintec Footlabs and Trail Runner Magazine.

2007 - Year 5 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

2007-02-17 Mardigras Night Run 001

17 February 2007
33 Starters - 33 Finishers


The weather forecast was for 100% probability of heavy rain.  The trails were still a mess from the wind and rain storms in December and early January.  It didn't look good for the Mardi Gras version of the Capilano Night Run!  Frantic plans were made to come up with an alternative course cutting out the mudslides but still providing a challenge.

32 hardy runners weren't deterred by the obstacles and toed the line for the 5th annual Mardigras Capilano Canyon Night Run.  Nobody took me up on the offer of a safer, alternative route.

Ean took of with the competitive, long course group.  The group run folks were stuck with me and a very gentle pace.  Amazingly, everybody stayed together until we reached the canyon.  The rain that briefly pounded down on us at the start stopped and the temperatures were mild.  Mist in the air reflected the beams of our headlamps and made for a spooky atmosphere. 

My group split into two pace groups, the faster ones doing their own creative interpretation of the course descriptions once they were out of the canyon...they did miss aid station Adams and made us wonder if the bears had eaten them.  The slower folks kept trusting my directions and the assurance that the nasty parts were almost over.  We navigated over washed out trail and under fallen trees.  I pointed out that they didn't take me up on the easy route.

Once refuelled and refreshed at aidstation Adams, the pace picked up and followed Bowser Trail back to the last 2km climb along Mosquito Creek. Perfect timing, as the slower competitive runners trickled in shortly after us. 

At Club Fat Ass events we don't recognize the fastest runners, rather we acknowledge those who come from the furthest away, those who get lost, injured or who pick up the most trash along the trails.  Carlos showed off his war wounds from a tumble he took.  (Luckily, he is close to the ground to begin with ;-)  Word leaked that Troy was the other contender of the Purple Heart Award (the best injury), but when we learned that he fell when trying to take a leak, nobody at the roaring potluck party had sympathy with him... but all had a good chuckle.  Maybe it was good that Troy had to leave the party early?

I missed the hot tub (aka sauna) and dodge ball party at Harry Jerome Rec Centre, where everybody cleaned of the mud and had some fun.  Pat, Michele and I headed to my house to prepare for the potluck.  Thanks guys for keeping me company and helping to set everything up.  And what a spread it was! 

The potluck was in full swing at 10:00pm (I usually leave parties around that time) and the potluck table featured savoury food from chilie, soup, sushi, empanadas, pakoras, quinoa salad, chicken, green salads, sprout/cabbage/nut salad, spicy green beans and a yummy noodle dish.  The deserts ranged from pies, homemade ginger snaps, poppy seed squares, fruits and cheese, nut- and banana breads to croissants filled with apricots and much more.

Thanks to NSA, Kinesys and Trailrunner we had a few prizes to give away.  Farthest travelled went to Victoria's Carolyn Goluzza, although Craig was a close contender living around the corner but having driven to the airport and back (and missing the start) only to find out that his parents are arriving the next day...The Alberta boys didn't show...would have been a sweep for them.  Pat won the prize for most Night Runs under her belt (4). We threw the last guest out around 1:30am and tucked the out-of-towner's into their sleeping bags in the guest room.

Thanks everybody for making this yet again a successful run and great party.

2006 - Year 4 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

Run Report:

Over the past 4 years, the Capilano Canyon Night Run has developed a bit of a reputation. Is it a reputation for being a competitive hammerfest? Is it as a good first time night run? Is it a social run? Is it a great opportunity to get lost in the dark, mangled... or simply a good excuse for a party?

It was cold and clear when we assembled next to the soccer field at the Griffin Gym. Runners jumped up and down to stay warm, or waited in their cars for the 6:30 start. A nearly-full moon cast long shadows over the parking lot as runners exchanged greetings, sparked up their headlamps and made last minute decisions to run the short (13K) or long (18K) routes.

The first topic of conversation as we set off onto the dark trails was night running. The Mick family drove in from Coquitlam to try night running for the first time. Something a bit different for a Saturday night, eh? Carlos Castillo ran from Victoria to North Vancouver for the event... quite a feat considering that a large body of water also separates the 2 cities! Carlos shared that he wanted to improve his familiarity with running trails in the dark as training for an attempt at running a 100-mile trail run under 24-hours. Katheryne and Tara were out with Tie the wonder dog who was dressed for the occasion with a stylish running jacket. It was an anniversary outing for Jan Riddell and Terry Lewis. They met 4 years earlier in the hot tub after the inaugural winter version of this run.

The smell of wood smoke was thick in the air as we weaved our way toward Capilano Canyon through the trails and parks of suburban North Vancouver. "Normal" people were cosy in their homes, perhaps enjoying a firelight dinner or watching the Olympics. Someone pointed to a shooting star as we dropped into the total darkness of Capilano Canyon.

Not long into the more technical canyon section of the run, elite runners Tom Skinner and Paul Purin came blazing by in what would surely be a record time for the long course. It's amazing to see a pro hammer over roots, rocks and through mud in the dark. The guys skipped from rock to rock in perfect synchronization. It didn't look like they were even breathing hard. In seconds, however, they were swallowed by the inky darkness as they passed the range of a headlamp beam. ('Turns out they got lost, so the record stands!)

One of the more experienced ultrarunners in British Columbia, Ron Adams, lives on the banks of the Capilano River at about the one hour point on the course. Ron and his son Bryce were on teh course handing out food and fluids and checking for lost lambs as we left the canyon. Newbie night runners Erin and Nicole especially appreciated Ron's salty potato chips.

Billed as a night run, this event is actually a triathlon. At the conclusion on the run, most participants head over the local community center to warm up in the hot tub. Many then see who can stay up the latest at the potluck finisher party.

The folks at Harry Jerome Rec center turned on the slippery slide when the muddy, endorphin-charged runners showed up. Hot tub. Pool. Sauna. Repeat until starved. Hit the buffet table. Have a beer and spin some yarns.

Thanks to Ethelyn, Ron and Bryce for helping out, North Shore Athletics and Trail Runner magazine for the prizes and everyone who contributed to the great meal and helped with cleanup afterwards.

The Capilano Canyon Night run is held twice a year in February and August. If you're interested in giving night running a try, setting the course record or just having a fun run, mark your calendar for the summer Midsummer Night Dream version on Saturday 19 August!

2005 - Year 3 - Capilano Canyon Mardigras Night Run

Event Home | Registration | Background | Agenda
Categories and Courses | Thanks! | Results | Contact | FAQ

A record number of night runners from as far away as California turned out this year to celebrate Mardi Gras on the trails of Capilano Canyon in North Vancouver.

The objective of the evening is to survive a 90 minute run in the dark before hitting the hot tub and kicking back for a celebratory party. Runners chose to race a very challenging 16K route or play it safe and do a slightly less "rustic" 13K circuit as a group. Neither route is marked, so this is not your average fun run.

Temperatures had cooled off a bit from the day, but were spot-on for running as we gathered in the parking lot of the Griffin Rec Center. After weeks of epic sunny weather, the trails were dry and fast.

This year saw a big spike in the number of first time night runners. Crew and well-wishers actually outnumbered those looking to tackle the nasty route, prompting the question, "Is it too tough?" Just about everyone ran with a friend and several with their dogs. Stephanie celebrated her birthday.

The jury is still out on who scared who more...the lone person in black who was out for a stroll, or the group of 10 loud night runners with headlamps barreling down the narrow Cap Pacific Trail? The black bears must have been frightened off, too, as there were no bear sightings this year.

While waiting to greet the runners at Aid Station Adams, a swarm of kids got juiced-up on smarties and had their own mini night run along the Capilano River. As runners made their way down the canyon, the kids blocked the trail and devised cruel challenges including "eat a cracker and say humuhumunukunukuapuahaha three times" and "What's the password to Gryffindor House" before allowing runners to pass.

The moon was almost full. In places, it's glow illuminated the trail well enough that many runners turned off their headlamps. No so Doug Mackay, who had his lamp on when he ran into a low-hanging tree branch and almost scalped himself.

A few folks got a bit lost, including our visitors from California and the extended Lepard family from West Van. Apparently equipped with instructions for both the group and competitive routes, they took the average of the 2 and went on a bonus tour of Pemberton Heights.

After a soak in the hot tub and a little action on the waterslide, the evening wrapped up with a potluck party that lasted till the wee hours of the morning.

Congrats to all!
