Flash Event

To celebrate the life and passions of our dear friend and fellow runner, Susan Giuffre, we will be running her favorite North Shore mountain trail run October 18th.  Please join us, for a 1 - 2 hour run or walk starting at Hyannis drive, Sunday Oct 18 at 9:00 a.m.

A brief description of the running route follows.  A modified version for walkers will be available at the start. Please come, meet some new runners or run with some good friends and enjoy the trails that Susan loved so much.

Between Squamish and Coquitlam lies Pine Cone - Burke Provincial Park.  Ascending Mamquam Pass and passing through the untouched wilderness of the Boise River valley is a roughly 50 km wild route called the Fools Gold Trail.  It was cleared in the 1990's by the Western Canada Wilderness Committee to bring attention to the value of the area, and was the impetus for the creation of the park itself to protect the area.

Bonjour from Geneva!

I am now being for three years a "long-distance-virtual-member" of the CFA!Found it on the net, loved the shirt, got the shirt and now discover and love everything you do guys(I wish I ll be there or have that here).

Anyway, I decided to post some Geneva's runs (not as crazy as yours though) I am going to take part.

So, here is my next one on sunday Le Demi de Jussy.  It's an half marathon, but I will run the 10km, as I am planning to run the half marathon on Lausanne at the end of october (it's up hill).

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

Why:  To see if running twelve hours is twice as much fun as running six hours.

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

Where: Meet at the Park Centre on Sixteenth Avenue 
 

When: Saturday, September 12, 2009 at 07:00
 

Heading down to Plain, Washington this weekend to familiarise myself with the course for the Plain 100. 

Any company would be more than welcome.  I'll be heading off early Friday evening, and probably camping Friday night.

Saturday I'll be running the 55 mile first loop and Sunday the 45 mile second loop.

I'll be coming back immediately after finishing running on Sunday.

Anyone interested in doing the race or just checking out some new trails can either catch a ride down with me or meet me there for one/both days.

What:

• A fun and free group run with some old friends and maybe some new ones
• 11K and 15K distances on some great trails not far from downtown Vancouver
• low-key familiarization run on the Enduro (11K) and Sport (15K) courses of the 5Peaks season finale race at Buntzen Lake
• faster and slower pace groups on each course, so there's something for everyone

Who:

• trail run

The smoke has cleared so it's a go. double 50 milers or choose you distance 17k loops from the parking lot of Cosen Bay.

Race will start Friday night to beat the heat!

Meet at my place and car pool to race start. Car will be aid stations. Bring what you need for you distance. Don't forget a towel for the swim. It's the lake of many colors.
