Location: 
Pacific Spirit Park, Vancouver, BC

What:  A six hour run on the trails in Pacific Spirit Park.

Why:  Because we haven't done this run since 2008.

Who:  The Fools and anyone who wants to join in the fun.

When: Sunday, December 2, 2012 at 08:00

Where:  Meet at the Park Centre on Sixteenth Avenue

Javascript is required to view this map.

Route:  The course will consist of a 10 kilometer loop plus a short 1 kilometer out and back which will be done near the end of the six hours when there is not enough time left to do the 10 K loop again. The 10 K loop is on the south side of Sixteenth Avenue and requires crossing the road.  Don't forget to look both ways, just like your mommy taught you.  This is on the same course as the Foolish Gerbil 100 mile run.  The complete course description is here:

Lap Counting:  You are responsible for counting your own laps.  If you can't count then this run is probably not for you.

Climbing:  Minor elevation changes.

Aid:  Be prepared to be self-sufficient. There will be water at the Park Centre washrooms. Of course we will also have access to our vehicles at the end of each loop.

Motto:  Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.

Results:  Please print your name and distance on the results sheet which will be on Karl's silver Grand Caravan LCT 280 parked at the Park Centre.  Or email you name and distance to Karl at the contact link below.

Entry:  There is no fee and you don't need to be a member of Club Fat Ass to participate in a Flash event, however whining is not allowed.  No registration is required but please indicate your participation via the comment form below.  You are responsible for your own well-being and safety and must be self sufficient.

I did 2:30 today

Would be a custom route. We went over to spanish banks after two loops. There was a whole group from the Broadway Running room joining us. Barry had apparently organized that. It was a fun day out and my legs are feeling it. Thanks Karl for motivating me to make the trip.

With Rachel out, it looks like I'd be running alone and I am going to run on the north shore to save the drive

Thinking 3 loops or maybe a custom route to explore a bit more.

Caveat emptor: Not quite equivalent due to terrain difference, but in the spirit of a Foolish loopdy-loop route

Under heavy rain: 1h30 for 2x(5kmloop+1kmtail)...i.e. 2 repeats of a mini gerbil
