Hello fat-asses,

Dear all,

I understand that some of you mainlander are holding back on your possible entry to the E/B, till after the Diez Vista.

I am hoping that we all get through that uninjured.

I will bring 4 entry forms that I can process on my return to Victoria on Sunday.(cheques or cash will work.)

Otherwise do it on line.That option will close at the end of this month.

Hope to see you all soon.

Carlitos.

I know this might open a can of worms and cause some debate but I am curious to know what the actual speed record would be for the Baden Powell Trail (I know KK is essentially the same bu

What:  A 33 1/3 mile run on the Baden Powell Trail between Deep Cove and St Andrews Rd (west of Cleveland Dam).  This is the course used for Hyson's Hiatus.&nbs

Ultrarunning Magazine is hardly comprehensive (few BC races sent in results, it seems) but it is the journal of record for the ultrarunning ultraobsessed crowd.

Their last issue was their annual Book of Lists issue, with several superb smokin'-fast BC performances among the top North America performances over the year. Woo-hoo!

Celebrate the Easter (or, if you prefer, ancient Rite of Spring) long weekend and the 29th anniversary of the start of Terry Fox's run (actually the next day) by running as far as you can go east on the Trans-Canada Trail, starting at the Vancouver-Burnaby border.

START: north end of Boundary Road (north of Edinburgh Street); just to the east of Ironworkers/Second Narrows Bridge: http://www.trailsbc.ca/southwest_region/burnaby.asp

  After my visit with our sponsor Phill Nichols at "Island Runner",the plan will be for package pickup from 16:30-18:30 at Fairfield Plaza followed by drinks and food at the "Ross Bay Pub", for any of the out-of-towners that night want an early supper before they go back to their Hotel for an early night.

Plans for a run to take back the trails in Pacific Spirit Park seem to be taking shape.  A memorial Run for Wendy Ladner-Beaudry is planned for Friday (tomorrow) at 9:15am at the Ranger station, at 16th Avenue about 500 metres west of Blanca http://ow.ly/2uhH
