Flash Event

Prerunning the Sunshine in September course (yet again!) to make sure directions are correct and that I can manage the entire distance. Anyone want to join us?

If you've been watching the event calendar, you likely know that the Sunshine In September event is scheduled for the first weekend in September. You may have also noticed that we held a Flash recon run of the course to fine-tune directions back in June. But, since I have yet to stay on course or finish the entire distance, I feel the need to try this one more time before the official event.

I'm new to the club so this is my first flash event.

Plan is to leave Vancouver around 6am.  We can drive to the trailhead, or if people feel ambitious we can bike there and lock our bikes up in the forest.  Use the new trail up to Deeks lakes, bag a peak or two, run into snow, get lost, get found, finish at Cypress, retrieve bikes (if applicable), carbo-hyrate with chilled frothy beverages at a pub.

Come prepared for snow (atleast mentally).

I expect we'll be in the 8-12 hour range.

37km

~2500m vertical

I didn't get into KK and I'm volunteering, so I need to run on sunday before another 'do at 1130.

I will be running with my friend Krys from Deep Cove to probably Lynn Canyon return on Sunday June 11th at 0700. Feel free to join us!

Please put a comment below if you're going to be there or come out at some point.

An easy training run with a bit of trail marking on the first half of the STORMY course. 

The  run will include the University loop.

Meet at Brennan Park at 9am.

What: I little birdie told me that William is embarking on his annual House to Grouse adventure, a run from his house near Main Street to Grouse Mountain.  Not sure when William will be setting out, but my plan is to leave early from the Yellow Beacon in North Van, run up Mosquito Creek and then via one of the multiple trails up to Grouse mountain and the peak.

What:  A change of plans... An afternoon assault at leisurely pace of Mount Fromme.

Why:  Because it's there...
