Mark your calendars... the 4th annual Vancouver Skyline XTC (Cross-Country Trail Challenge) is coming up this Saturday.
This is your typical north shore trail run with lots of mud and single track. It's a bit unique, however, in that you can choose to run a 25K "up", a 25K "down", a 50K "up and down" or roll your own distance by just running as far as you feel comfortable.
Those training for KneeKnacker will find the XTC to be a great training run. It's near impossible to get lost on the first 20K, so it's also a great introduction to trail running.
