Our member Kristin Ohm-Pedersen was recently invited to run for Team Canada at the upcoming Commonwealth Running Championships! It is a 54km trail race in Northern Wales this September 25. Kristin is planning a fundraiser and writes:

As most of you know the snow has been lingering much longer than usual in the backcountry this year. The Hanes valley route is tough in a good year. I have received a report from the ranger at Lynn Headwaters a few days ago. What he has told me is that conditions in the Hanes Valley as of last weekend are similar to late June in a normal year . This means it can be and is most probably dangerous. Snow level is half way down the scree slope with many sun cups .
Can anyone cover for me for my event on Sunday, July 24th? There’s not much to do. I can call the Mozzie Creek Grill to make sure we have a spot there. Just need someone to show up, sign in, and send off the troops. Please contact me if you're able to help. Very much appreciated.
At the Club Fat Ass Steering Committee meeting last night, we noticed that 75% of the people in attendance were either running in the Knee Knackering North Shore Trail run or volunteering for the race.
Many of us have enjoyed the glorious trail running in the Grand Canyon. Further sublime running adventures await nearby, at the cost of a cheap flight to Vegas. They are closer to Vegas, and also more runnable than the Grand Canyon.

Mount Apodaca. A-po-da-ca. Sounds like some exotic peak in the Pyrenees or maybe the South American Andes, doesn't it?
