Lord of the Loop(s) - 1km Fun Run/Picnic

Start: 18 Jun 2011 11:00

End: 18 Jun 2011 13:00

Location:

Capilano Salmon Hatchery Picnic Area, Capilano Canyon, North Vancouver, BC

My name is Max & I am 9 years old.

I love trail running. So does my dad. I love running on the trails with my dad, but his races are too long for me, so I can’t race with him. I couldn’t find a trail race for kids or friends of ultrarunners so I thought there should be one.

This race is for all of those people who want to try trail running, but can’t run really far or even very fast. Even if you are really good at running far, you can do this race & try to run really fast. Or you can run with someone you have always wanted to run with.

This is a fun race so you can run, walk, or crawl. Bring your friends, children, grandparents, wife, or husband & see who can do the fastest loop. Or who can do the most loops. Or maybe you can run together as a team. Whatever you do, you must have fun!

Bring food because it’s a picnic.

Max

Race Director

What: A family style event that features a picnic & a self-timed time-trial on the Coho Loop trail …a 1km loop in the Capilano Canyon trail system.

Where: Capilano Fish Hatchery Picnic area.

It is located on the south side of the turnaround at the Hatchery Pavillion.

It’s covered, so we will be there rain or shine.

Everyone is encouraged to bring some food & drink and enjoy the social atmosphere as we encourage everyone through their loop(s). Sorry….the Park forbids the consumption of alcohol.

There is limited parking nearby, so you "real" runners may have to drop the family off first, park the car up the road, & take a short warm-up run back to the picnic area....depends on the tourist volume that day.

When:

18 June 2011

11:00am – 13:00pm

The race is styled as a self-timed time-trial.

You start your own watch at the start of the loop, & you stop it as you finish the loop. Run it once, twice, or several hundred times. It’s up to you.

It’s convenient enough that you could incorporate it in the middle of your training day as you wind your way between the Cap-Pacific trail & the Baden-Powell.
