5:30am

Get up. Check the weather. Print off your route instructions and make sure you know how to get to the start 

 6:30am Meet at White Spot for pre-run breakfast (see address below).  There will be no post run meal so if there are any prizes they will be awarded before the run.  
8:00am Arrive at the parking lot by the warden's office near the beach at Buntzen Lake park. The gate doesn't open until 8 so don't get there too much before then.

8:28am Pictures!
8:30am Start your run
9:30am First people finish
2:30pm Possible first Fluffy Bunny racers finish

How to get to the start (Buntzen Lake South Beach Parking lot)

  • Find your way to Port Moody, BC.
  • From where St. John’s Street meets the Barnet Hwy, take IoCo Road North
  • IoCo Rd. will turn into Heritage Mountain Blvd. There is a sign to Buntzen Lake here. Continue on Heritage Mountain Road until you hit the traffic circle
  • Take the first exit out of the traffic circle onto David Street. There is a Buntzen Lake sign here
  • Go left onto Forrest Park Way. There is a Buntzen Lake sign here.
  • Take an immediate Left on Aspenwood Dr. (it’s going to look like you are heading into a residential area here…. Your just going to have to trust me… this is the right way)
  • Aspenwood will turn into East Rd. Follow East Rd. for about 2km then make a right onto Sunnyside Drive.
  • Sunnyside Drive will take you directly to the Park. Follow the Park Rd. to the South Beach parking lot and look for me (Geoff)… I’ll be wearing my black Club Fat Ass t-shirt and I drive a silver/grey sunfire.  I will be at the south end of the parking lot.   

What to Bring?

  • Come equipped for the distance you are going to run and plan to be self sufficient for food and water (keep in mind if you are doing the 35K you could be out there for more than 6 hours so bring at least 3 litres of fluids).
  • Print out and bring your course description/maps (put them into a ziploc bag so they don't turn into mush)
  • Cellphone (although most of the park does not have cell service).
  • Towel and change of clothes. Don't expect a shower, but you might want to consider a post run swim in Buntzen Lake

Pre-Event breakfast

  • Because of the wide range of times and distances I am not planning a post run gathering.  Instead, I am going to have a pre-race breakfast.  It will be at 6:30am at the White Spot in Port Coquitlam.   3025 Lougheed Hwy (close to the corner of Westwood and Lougheed).  Because there is no post run gathering, if there are any prizes they will be awarded during the pre-run breakfast.
