Club News and Notices
Saturday morning group runs in Sechelt: starting September 6 we will be switching back to 9:00am for the fall/winter season. Get an extra hour of sleep!
The Iron Kids Triathlon starts 10am Sunday September 7 at Garden Bay Lake. Mokie and Mike can always use extra volunteers for this. Join Teresa afterwards for an easy run on the Four Lakes 10k course.
Mark your calendar for Saturday September 20th — Pinetree XC Classic, Munday Park, Coquitlam, first race of the 2008 Lower Mainland Cross Country Series. This is a really fun fast course on nicely groomed trails. 5k for women, 8k for men, all running together at 10am. We'll have room in our vehicle for 3 extra people. Let Teresa know ASAP if you will be racing so we can submit our club entry list ahead of time (pay when we get there).
Sunday September 21st — Skookumchuck Narrows run! Peak (XL) flood tide at 10:53am. We will meet at the trail head in Egmont at 10am. Nice easy trail run 4km out and 4km back with a big 'rapids watching break' in between! Bring a pocket camera if you can, the waves will be big and there will probably be kayakers surfing them. Also bring some cash in case the bakery/cafe is open.
Results are now posted for the inaugural Four Lakes 10k Aug 24 in Garden Bay. We had a good turnout for this first year with little advertising, even in the wind and rain!
