Congratulations to all that came out for a wonderful day of camaraderie and running! I'd like to thank Melissa and her daughter Justine for being our two 'un-official' aid stations; one at the Vancouver picnic area after the first climb and one at the LSCR. They had chips, brownies and M & M's for those that wanted to stop long enough to partake.
36 starters today plyed the treacherous trails of the North shore, some on route some not! The 'official' route is ~27km with 3,200 ft (975m) of elevation gained and lost. The weather was wet most of the time with temperatures around 5-7 deg C and puddles-o-plenty on the trail. We encountered 2 hiking entourages with 20+ members that made zigging and zagging through moving obstacles all the more challenging!
