Vancouver 100
Bill took on 3/4 of this gruelling Club Fatass Run which covers the entire Baden Powell trail from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay and back again. Basically, 2 Knee Knackers in a row. Since he only did 75k, I guess he’s only 75% crazy, but that’s still more crazy than sane. Congratulations, Bill.
Ambleside Masters Mile
This is North America’s largest masters mile, and three of our members went all out to see how fast they could cover it. Some pretty impressive times:
Oliver Half Iron
Having the word “half” in the title shouldn’t diminish the amount of effort required to do this race: 2km swim, 93 km bike ride, and capped off with a half marathon. Amanda did this one, while Monika had a go at her first Will we see her in Penticton in 2011?
Sandcastle City Classic 10k
White Rock was the venue for the latest race in both the Timex BC and the LMRRS Series.
Edge to Edge Marathon Relay and Half Marathon
This one got a little bloody for our competitive teams, but it ended up being a story of triumph in the end, as we came in 1st among the mixed teams and 2nd overall, despite having two of our runners doing double legs, and starting 5 minutes late due to a runner/photographer collision.
Janet also did a great job in the half marathon, finishing first in her division!
Five Peaks: Burnaby Mountain
Doug did the Enduro Course (9.8 km) of the second race in this local trail-running series out at SFU.
Longest Day 10k/5k
Huge PRR turnout for this one. Lots of great times, too.

Scotiabank Half Marathon
Big turnout and gross, cold wet weather (great for running!) made this a fun one. Here are the results:
Scorched Sole 50 Mile - 50k - 25k
Another year, another new course. Lots of great showings for PRR members at this ultra in Kelowna that saw both sun and snow.
