Dear friends and members of Club Fat Ass,
I am looking forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming fall
events. There are still 4 more great runs to choose from, or better
yet, do them all and get 2006 off to a running start with the Vancouver
New Year's Fat Ass 50 on January 1.
Somebody overheard me
announcing that this will be the first year I am going full distance on
New Year's Day. I must have been high on endorphins...
Have fun reading the CFA October 2005 Newsletter below. Happy Trails,
Sibylle Tinsel
Chief Executive Fat Ass |

We
couldn't do without our sponsors. A big "Thank You!" to Paula Stepp at
Trail Runner Magazine for their continued support. Trail Runner has
provided a number of Club Fat Ass events with draw prizes in the from
of subscription certificates.
Trail Runner also offers members of Club Fat Ass a special discounted subscription price
for Trail Runner magazine. The rate is only $12.95 for a year (plus $
10 additional postage for Canada). This rate is $5 off their regular
annual rate.
Club Colours
In previous years, we ordered Club t-shirts quarterly based on our actual
membership numbers. This year, you may have noted that you received your Club
t-shirt as soon as you signed up. This is because I took the risk of
pre-ordering and screening t-shirts. We have some 2005 blue club t-shirts left.
With a new year and new t-shirt colour on the horizon, I would like to clear
them out. While they last, I'd like to offer them to current members for $15 and
non-members for $20 plus postage of $2. They make great gifts and the price is
unbeatable! If interested, please send me an email with quantities and sizing.
New Event
I
am excited to announce that yet another trail run has been added to the
ever growing calendar of Club Fat Ass events. Inspired by veteran Event
Host Craig Moore during the Double last June, Peter Zubcsek is
organizing the Burnaby Mountain Run for his debut as Event Host.

CAUSES YOUR CLUB SUPPORTSIf you have any causes close to your heart and want to raise awareness and/or funds let me know. A number of hosts use their events as fund raisers and there is a special section on our website to highlight certain fund raising efforts. Jesper Olsen's World Run
Jesper's has finished the North American leg of his World Run. He
arrived in Ireland October 11 and is scheduled to complete his World
Run October 23. Despite being tired and having repeated equipment
problems his daily log
shows him in good spirits and enjoying the company and help of ultra
runners along his route. You can find out more about his adventure at: www.worldrun.org
