I know we’re still enjoying the last days of summer yet one simply can’t help longing for those torrential downpours of November. The darkness til 8:00 am. The 4:40 wake up call. The smell of manure (okay leg 5 only). The rainsoaked and sweaty runners in your car. Yes folks, H2H is coming.
The annual 100km relay from Haney to Harrison takes place Saturday November 8th. It’s a big event for the club with 30 or so PRR participants a year (3 teams of 8 plus volunteers) but this year we’re stepping it up. We’re going all out. We’re pulling together 4 teams. We’ve got soul but we’re not …
8 legs of roughly 8 to 15 km varying in hilliness and difficulty. Team captains get to decide who runs which leg. So either sign up to be a team captain - like Jess did - or find out who the team captains are and start buying them beer.
So far the following 32 people have signed up! That’s 4 teams. But as often happens - some people get injured or have date conflicts pop up. So a few spares would be a good thing.
We still need 1 additional volunteer. And don’t forget - each team will be expected to provide 1 “early” and 1 “late” volunteer from their 8 runners. These volunteers will help out at Exchange 3.
Runners:
Nicki
Grant
Laura - smelly Leg #5 please

August 20th, 2008 at 3:48 pm We’d be interested in staying in Harrison. Were looking at abbotsford but won’t be heartbroken if moved to Harrison…
August 20th, 2008 at 11:23 pm But of course I’ll be there. I have to keep my streak going.
September 10th, 2008 at 11:11 pm I hope this is the right form to use for H2H… John told me to put my leg preference - I prefer the smelly Leg 5, ’cause it’s flat. Around 13k, right? Thanks! Laura
