First the name. Back in the day when I was training for the Canadian Death Race, the wife of a training buddy didn't much like the sound of "Death Race". So to his wife, the race became known as the Fluffy Bunny Trail Run. While this race doesn't quite match up to the Death Race, it is no walk in the park so I thought this was an appropriate title. Also, I thought that the folk who don't always do the max distance don't get enough credit at races. So for those doing the 8km "Extreme Punishment 8 km Run" this will sound much more impressive to coworkers than the "Fluffy Bunny Trail Run"
I have done quite a bit of training on these trails and thought it would be an excellent place for a Club Fat Ass event. For those who choose the Full Fluffy Bunny Run, the trail will be tough but the views at the top will be well worth the effort.
The Glory
- Tough course for the long run - tough name for the short run
- Beautiful scenery
The Differences
This event follows the guidelines provided by Club Fat Ass for safe and successful, informal endurance sports "parties":
- It is free for Club members
- It is hosted by a Club member
- It is small and informal. Guests should come prepared for the weather and the terrain and not expect aid or course marking. They should expect to follow detailed written course instructions
- It is environmentally friendly. We aim to leave our route in better shape than it was before we passed though.
- It is as much about the camaraderie as the competition.
Guests at the event download from the Internet directions based on natural and physical landmarks. As with orienteering, those who aren't familiar with the course will pause frequently to consult the written directions, giving a slight competitive advantage to those who have trained on it. Course directions are available year 'round on the agenda page of this website and we encourage everyone to enjoy the route as often as they please throughout the year.
Detailed questions and clarifications specific to this event are provided in the Fluffy Bunny FAQ.
