Thank you to everyone that participated in the Vancouver World Run on Sunday March 26. And also thanks very much to everyone that was able to come out to the lecture with Jesper Olsen on Friday March 24, 2006. These are events without equal as we were fortunate to have Jesper's World Run Project recounted personally and for the first time in English. I know that we have some amazing runners in Club Fat Ass and Vancouver but arguably none have accomplished anything close to what Jesper did over 662 days, 22 months, almost 2 years and 26,232 km.

The day dawned blustery and grey and I knew it would be my turn to run. My other half just does not like to be out in the rain.

Being my meticulous Germanic self, I showed up at the deserted Centennial Theatre parking lot about 30min before the official start. A small group of enthusiastic runners slowly assembled and huddled around Craig's car. Where was the guest of honour, Jesper, and his host Karl? Luckily Jesper had mentioned Friday night at the presentation that he was not a morning person. A quick phone call threw him out of bed. He looked slightly hung over when he finally hopped out of the car. Where did you take him, Karl?

18 Starters

On October 23, 2005 Dane Jesper Kenn Olsen, 34 became the first person to successfully run, in daily increments ranging from 14-93km, one lap around the Earth on land masses, setting a Guinness Book of World Records record.

What began from the Old Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, England on January 1, 2004, ended there 26,323 km later - One lap around the World - on October 23, 2005.

If you like to see Jesper before his upcoming presentation at the Centennial Theatre you can get a taste on  ShawTV during Urban Rush on Wednesday March 22 at 5:00pm, 7:00pm and 11:00pm and following day (Thursday 23) at 1:00am, 7:00am & 12 noon.

It's not too late to get your tickets for the show on Friday here
