The
ultrarunning (runs greater than the 42.2K
marathon distance) season in southern
Ontario and the northeastern United States
winds down in October. Finding an
off-season ultra has always been tough.
Until now.
The Three Dolla Bill Run has been designed to
become an off-season classic. It
started out as a New Year's Day Run and a hangover
cure. Seems the hang-over ultra
runners won and for 2006 the date has been
moved to the 4th Sunday in January. Catch up with
friends that you haven't seen since the
ultra season ended. Burn off some of
that extra holiday season weight.
Strategize about the upcoming race season
with your running buddies as you drag your
miserable carcasses across the frozen
tundra!
This is a
great first time ultra as the emphasis is
more on completing than competing.
Whether you set a world record or finish in
6 hours, you'll get the same warm congrats
at the finish... and the same crack at
some cool draw prizes.
This is our
third year and we hope you will enjoy it even more
than a year ago.
The Differences
This event
follows the guidelines provided by
Club Fat Ass for safe and successful,
informal endurance sports "parties":
- It is free for
Club members
- It is hosted by
a Club member
- It is small and
informal. Guests should come prepared
for the weather and the terrain and not
expect aid or course marking. They
should expect to follow detailed written
course instructionsIt is
environmentally friendly. We aim to
leave our route in better shape than it was
before we passed though.
- It is as much
about the camaraderie as the competition.
Guests at the
event
download from the Internet directions based
on natural and physical landmarks. As with
orienteering, those who aren't familiar with
the course will pause frequently
to consult the written directions, giving a
slight competitive advantage to those who
have trained on it. Course directions are
available year 'round on the course page of this website
and we encourage everyone to enjoy the route as often
as they please throughout the year.
