Bear Mountain report?

Finally signed up for the 25K. Curly was making noises about upgrading from the 50M to 100M, in which case I would pace her for 40 - 80K... 100 miler OrleansRunner (Sylvie) - Bib # 4 Oink CBaker1 - Bib #23 Edward - TBC Trailzen(Dale) c_mcpeake 100 miler - Relay 50 miler Cbaker1's wife - Bib # 246 We...

Most aspects of this race are great in terms of execution and perqs. A T-shirt and honey in your race kit, very cool socks for finishers and a course that keeps them coming back every year. Weather was not a big factor this year, just a bit of rain to start the race and some snow on the traverses, a...

Curly ran the course today and the trails are in good shape. Some muddy spots and about 1 foot of ice on the ski hill (her words). I see nothing wrong with this...

Hey all. The first race on the Ontario trail/ultra series is this Saturday. Hope to see many maniacs out running in the snow! Forecast is calling for a sweltering 15 degrees...

Thanks all for sharing. Perhaps everyone contemplating such an act will realize how pointless it was and this will never happen again.

Last day for online sign-up, but you can register in Dunedin before 08:45. See you soon!

Rain and a high of 14 tomorrow... I'm predicting snow on the roads, but not on the trails!

Hey! The Spring Warm-up is next weekend! Someone should have reminded me!

(no worries - it is all ready)

Forecast: Sunny and rain (???) high of 7 and a distinct chance the snow will be gone from the Bruce Trail!

Hope to see some Maniacs there!

Note: 9 days until the Spring Warm-up. Are you trained up yet?

Way to go Chris! What is the time for a podium finish at Sulphur? Just asking!

Wow! You have serious lungs my man!

There is some discretion to allocate from the shorter races to the ultras - I expect the 10K or 25K will no longer have a cap of 350 each.

Better get Curly signed up. Thanks for the heads-up, Trailzen.

Good times AFR!

Where is the trail?

Way to go Ken! In 40 years you will be locking up all the AC records!

Ah Fernie... When I skied there first about 25 years ago, there was a quaint small village and a mountain with no one on it! I distinctly recall getting to the bottom of the hill, standing in line for the chair, nobody else in the line. A couple came up behind me, so I said " you can go ahead o...

Well... It was supposed to be a snowshoe. I went up to the property near Singhampton to get ready for maple syrup, but forgot my snow shoes! The snow was thigh deep, so lifting my feet high enough to clear the snow was out of the question. Running in big boots was also not an option, so I pushed my ...

Hey all. Just a short recap of the Creemore Snow Run (January 13), the Base Borden 50K (January 27) and a dribbling of the trivial. The target audience is those who are getting bored with winter...

So many trail runs, so little time... Let's add some extra days to the calendar. I propose a 400 day year. All those in favour vote yes!

Once Carmack hit -273.15C, it should have vanished, so "unknown" is apt!

They ran it last year AND they are signing up again this year? Say hello to the masochist society for me...

Note: Registration is now active:

Interesting note. Of the 12 people signed up, 6 are from Richmond Hill. Is there a large masochist society in Richmond Hill?

I strongly suggest not using any lights during a night run, as it shows up obstacles, cliffs and eyes along the trail, all of which result in unnecessary anxiety...

Monica went from 16th to 9th woman... Early for her to be moving up!
