We have made a lot of friends from our events, and our only regret would be not having more time to visit with each of you more during the event. Just know we are so moved and feel blessed from all the kind words, and seeing people work on their goals.
We love seeing our OG friends and trail runners from PEI who have been with us since the beginning at A Day in Amherst, to everyone else along the way including the wonderful folks who tell us this is their first Trail Run, and they are excited to make the jump into the community. A lot of folks from the Maritimes, and beyond travel from far and near.
A lot of people contributed in many ways to help make this weekend happen. This is not an all inclusive list, we don't want to miss anyone. To name a few,
Amanda Dominix-Boucher crafted the beautiful 100k finishing key chains / magnets. If you completed this and didn't get one awarded to you, please let us know!
Tyler Isbister donated Athletic Brew, which we had at the Aid Station (arrived Saturday evening).
Steve Maly at 3 Mile Outfitter and AO Trail Racing provided the Hot Dogs for the BBQ Fundraiser
Sarah and Peter Eastwood Provided Stickers for 50k, 100k and 100 Mile stickers
Speaking of the BBQ Fundraiser, we collected $720 from people through cash and e-Transfers for the Food Bank Fundraiser for the Wentworth Food Bank at the Learning Center! Thank you ALL SO MUCH! We will be dropping this off to them soon!
If I missed anyone, my apologies, still not terribly well rested.
Our next Race is July 19th, starting and finishing at Ski Wentworth, the Ghastly Gorge Grind. It offers an approx 8k and an approx 16k route with waterfalls, and a ton of beautiful single tracked trail. We've done a lot of work this spring to modify the 16k into an expanded route which will see a lot of new to you trails which are really fun to run down and grind up.
If you are available on July 19th, give this a go. You get a free drink afterwards at The Barn, the Ski Hill's outdoor Bar / Restaurant
