Flash - Foolish Gerbil 100 Mile Trail Run

What:  A 100 Mile or custom run on the trails in Pacific Spirit Park.

Why:  Because some Fools need to up their mileage.

Who:  Anyone who wants a nice run in the woods.

Where:  Note that the orange balloon on the map below is at the Park Centre where the washrooms are.  Since the park is officially only open from 08:00 - to 17:00 we will meet at the south east corner of the park at Comosen St and SW Marine Drive so vehicles are not left in the Park Centre parking lot overnight.

When:  Saturday, December 3, 2011 at 08:00

DIRECTIONS FOR THE 10K LOOP: Start and Finish is the gate at the parking lot entrance.

• Start at the big information board at Comosun St and SW Marine Drive
• Take the SW Marine trail that parallels the highway.  After about .75 K you will come to an intersection.
• Go right for a very short distance and then left onto the trail that goes into the forest. 
• This is trail #21, Salish.  Do not take the Clinton trail #3 or the trail that continues to parallel the highway.
• Follow #21, Salish, #10, Heron and #2, Clevland to the Park Center.
• Go north through the back of the parking lot onto #2, Cleveland to #10, Heron.
• Left onto Heron to #21, Salish.
• Left again onto Salish and across 16th to the continuation of Salish.  Stay on Salish until you reach #12, Imperial trail.
• Left on Imperial to #22, Sasamat.
• Right on Sasamat to junction of #19, St. Georges.
• Right on St. Georges to Camosun Street.
• Right on Camosun Street, just after the school on your right you will see a trail entrance, take that short trail to the big information board at the corner of Camosun St and S.W. Marine Dr.
• Do it again and again and....  Reverse directions if you want a change of scenery.
