Mad Trapper Snowshoe

Mad Trapper Snowshoe race is a classic series, and we love the night version. Snowshoe by moonlight & your headlamp, navigating through peaceful woods through silky deep snow on somewhat compacted trails. Venues with Mike at The Arc are always fun!

Berlin 5K Run For Joy

Berlin 5K Run for Joy is a great warmup for the upcoming marathon. You get to meet alot of great people from around the world, fun costumes and lots of national flags. Great reason to visit the historic defunct TempleHof Airport as well!

RunK2J at the Munich ‘Run For Life’

Landing in Germany a day prior, we found a 10K in Munich that was a run in the park.

RunK2J at BoilerMaker

Boilermaker Road Race is a classic event you can do over and over again. Billed as Worlds Best 15K Road Race, the whole town is behind this event. This was a RunK2J team Roadtrip, and we had tons of fun!

Harold’s Manitoba Half-Marathon

While visiting Harold’s family n WPG, we noticed there was the Manitoba Marathon happening the same weekend. Serendipity! Had to do it.

Terry’s 2022 Longueuil Marathon

The marathon course is two loops. New for 2022, the second loop is slightly different with a section on a bike path along the St-Lawrence. The course is relatively flat with only a few minor hills in old Longueuil and the ramp over the highway for loop two of the marathon.

Bay to Breakers – California

The course starts in downtown San Francisco near the Bay and ends at Ocen Beach, which is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean (hence ‘Bay to Breakers)’. The first half of the course runs through the downtown as well as some nice residential areas. The second half is run through beautiful Golden Gate Park.

Andrew ‘Bunny’ 21.1 Vancouver

The BMO Vancouver Marathon weekend markets itself using the phrase ‘Stunning Running’. The scenery is awesome. You have views of the Coastal Mountains for most of the run and a good portion of the second half of the race is in beautiful Stanley Park.
