Date	Time	Event	Location	Contact Info	Description
Sep 7, 2014	08:00	Credit Union Queen City Marathon	Regina, Saskatchewan	Email 1-866-2-RUN-QC	A relatively flat, scenic and well-supported Boston-certified loop course, the Credit Union QCM begins with a short 3km loop through Wascana Park, one of Canada?s largest, most picturesque urban parks. This opening 3km loop brings you through the starting area again (a great opportunity to wave to friends and family or hand-off your warm-up clothes to our volunteers) before you head out on the main part of the course, which takes advantage of Regina's extensive paved pedestrian pathway system. The running surface is primarily paved pathways, with some residential streets and small sections of crushed-stone pathway. There are some curbs present where pathways merge with streets and vice-versa. There are also some wooden, two-way-single-file pedestrian bridges. The course starts at an elevation of 579 meters (1,900 feet). The lowest point is 545 meters (1,788 feet) near the 16km mark. The highest point is 617 meters (2,024 feet) near the 28km mark, at the crest of a little hill we call "Mount Milos", in honour of long-time participant/volunteer/World IronMan Champion, Milos Kostic.
Sep 7, 2014	08:00	Mount Robson Marathon	Mount Robson Park, British Columbia	Email	There will be both a "full marathon" (actually about 44km/27.5mi, or nearly 3km longer than a true marathon) and a half marathon (21.1km/13.3mi) on the world-famous Berg Lake Trail. These will be out-and-back runs starting at the Mount Robson Visitor Centre. For non-endurance runners there will be a 12km run to Kinney Lake and back.

Sep 13, 2014	08:00	Maritime Race Weekend	Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia	(902) 877-9355	RUN or WALK our scenic routes! September is the nicest month of the year in Nova Scotia. That?s why we chose this month for our largest event, the Maritime Race Weekend. Offering four distances along a coastline route (Coastal 5K, Classic 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon). This race is everything Maritimes: from ocean scenery to pirates, local bands and of course East Coast comfort food and beer! It is sure to excite everyone, especially with pirate booty (cash prizes) at the finish line!
Sep 20, 2014	08:00	That Dam Hill Marathon	London, Ontario	Email 519-686-1545	The second annual!!
Sep 20, 2014	08:00	Frosty Mountain Ultra	Manning Park, British Columbia		As usual I was in Manning Park by Wednesday, preparing the course. This year the weather was just fantastic the three days prior to the race and the weather report predicted nothing but the worst for race day - the reverse of what the report has been in the past years. I have to admit Benny and I enjoyed those three days tremendously but I felt a little guilty enjoying that beautiful sunshine while flagging the course and thinking how awful everyone will feel come Saturday. But guess what... I WAS WRONG. I think that was the first time ever! The rest is history, we could not have asked for anything better than a gorgeous day like this in late September. Most of the flowers have gone to seed, ensuring that perhaps we get a spectacle of colors next year. Instead this year we got treated to a variety of mushrooms I never knew existed. We had a record number of runners attended, thank you very much for that, and and a new record set in the 27 km course by Jamie Dunnett in a time of 2:29:15! No serious incidents to report except a couple of scratches and one bleeding nipple, the first aid personal was happy to attend to all of those injuries and as usually the volunteers did a fantastic job in taking care of everyone's needs. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I have. Remember to mark your calendar for the next Frosty, September 20th 2014. I would also like to thank everyone who donated towards the BC Schizophrenia Society in memory of my son Geoffrey. Happy trails and hope to see you then or before that. And as always: IF YOU LIKE IT TELL YOUR FRIENDS, if you don't tell me. Gottfried, Race Director
