So sad to be missing the Valley Inn RD hill this year - it won't be the same

Bay race update! Valley Inn hill will not be available for the Bay Race due to CN construction of the tracks for the Pan Am games. On exiting North Shore Blvd. the course will stay on Plains Rd. Runners thinking that they will miss the challenge of the Valley Inn hill, beware because the route on Plains Rd. is a long gradual uphill into Hamilton. Can you beat last years finishing time? Let us know after the race.

I was going to come to 122 but if Andy won't be there, I guess I'll skip it too.

The Around the Bay Road Race
Great News! Stan Wakeman who greets everyone at the bottom of Valley Inn Hill with high fives and Queen playing We will rock you .... Will be on Plains Road just west of the Botanical Gardens. Stan has been in the hospital recuperating from back surgery for the past 3 weeks and just got a day pass to go out and greet everyone on the course! Say hi, and give him a high five!
