In seven days the thrid annual Fluffy Bunny Trail Run will be held at Buntzen Lake.  The question is:  Are you tough enough for the Fluffy Bunny? 

Here are some comments from last year's running: 

Hey all,

---

Chris Benn and I are heading up to Garibaldi park to run the rubble creek course this Saturday, July 28.

---

A point to point run (down) from Cypress Bowl to Edgemont Village following the Baden Powell Trail to Cleveland Dam then on quiet residential roads another 15-20 min to back to my house.

 

Well, good news folks. The boys are doing fantastic! The weather cooperated superbly. Warm during the day and then it started to cool off. Linda and I went to see them at Mt Rose and then at Spooner (the half way mark). They are in great spirits and are looking great albeit a little stinky. Luckily, the high altitude did not seem to bother any of them. Woohoo!!

More photos are posted here.

Well, as noted by Sibylle, the 4^th edition of Bill’s Great Peak Ascent turned out to be a soggy affair.   Nevertheless, that didn’t stop 18 runners from giving it a go under very un-July-like weather.   Dave Crerar even commented on how nice it was to run in the rain and the surreal effect running up Mountain Highway not being able to see 2 metres in front of you.  Glad you enjoyed it Dave, my sentiments weren't quite the same. 

After wrapping up the Cleveland Dam aid station at the Kneeknacker, welcoming an exuberant husband at his 15th KK finish and packing the car for a 5 day camping trip, said husband and offspring were off to a secret location on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

STORMY is offering a 50-mile relay option this year.   Is anyone intrested in forming a CFA relay team?  Relay teams can have 2-7 runners, so there is lots of flexibility in terms of the distance each person will run.  See www.s2srun.com for details.

The Mosquito Creek Grill is good to go for this Saturday, 12 pm.  Come out and run Bill's Great Peak Ascent and then
