Canadian Death Race

Someone I worked with at The Support Network back in 2001 just asked if I’d want to do the Canadian Death Race as a two-person team next year. Yikes!

Consider running for 125km over rough, mountain trails, through pristine forests shared with resident wildlife, over ragged, rocky, and sometimes wet or snow-covered, seemingly endless terrain. Sounds pretty tough? Well, add the fact that you are journeying over three different mountain summits and are gaining over 17,000 feet in elevation, crossing over a major river by raft, (At our spectacular Hell’s Gates canyon at the confluence of the Smoky and Sulphur Rivers.) plus running part of this race in the dark and there you have it – the makings of our larger-than-life world-class event, the Canadian Death Race!

Registration is already closed for 2007, but I’ll admit, part of me is somewhat considering it for next year.. despite the logistical fun of being in Canada at that time, all those simple details..
