November:
Haney to Harrison Relay & Ultra
Nov 8th
8 person relay or 100 km Ultra
The club will enter 3 or hopefully 4 teams this year - attempting to balance the participants so that all teams finish close to the same time. Although rumour has it there’s dissent among the crowd - some club members may actually want to “load” their team to maximize their time on the course. And why wouldn’t they given the typical November weather.
