::Thursday Night Trail Runs!::

It's time to dust off those trail running shoes. It's lighter later in the evening now, so join us every Thursday for our group trail run.

We will have to modify some of our routes around the new clearcuts this year. So get ready to explore some "new" runs in some of your favorite places.

Group Leaders are always needed, so please encourage anyone who knows the trails (even just one trail) to volunteer . Last year we averaged over 40 runners a night with many runs over 50 happy people. A lot of people have been spreading the word so we hope to see even bigger turnouts this year.

As we did last year, we will meet at Extreme Runners to carpool and leave there at 5:30 pm sharp. Or meet at the posted trail head at 5:45 pm. As soon as everyone has signed up and in their groups we head out with the faster runners starting first to avoid passing on the single-track trails

.

We had many after-run socials including drinks and/or dinner at Billy D's, The Wave in Cumberland and Boston Pizza, plus potluck dinners and swims at Comox Lake.
