Speaker Event

 Hey folks,

On Wednesday July 7th Ellie Greenwood from Team Montrail will be out at the Kintec in Port Moody giving a talk about her recent achievements in the running world.  There will be some draw prizes from Montrail and light snacks & drinks.  Doors open at 6pm and Ellie's talk will commence at 7pm.  

If you've been hiding under a rock you haven't heard the news about Ellie breaking the World 100k record on trail at Elk Beaver last month and then 4 weeks later shattering the Calgary Marathon women's record by 10 minutes!

Mix and mingle with some old running friends and make some new ones.  There will be a slideshow of images from past CFA events running in the background.

The evening is free and everyone is welcome.

The focus of the evening will be a slideshow and tales from CFA members and their big adventure runs.  These will include Dave Smith's Iceland Ultra, the incredible adventures of the Fools and the Baggers Challenge.

This session is free and you do not need to be a member of Club Fat Ass to attend. Pre- registration is required.

Join the "Fools" (Karl Jensen, Chad Hyson, Gilles Barbeau and John Machray), friend of the Fools Lucinda Iglesias, STORMY 100-mile Run RD Wendy Montgomery, folks from Kintec Footlabs, Club Fat Ass, a few friends and curious for an evening of tales from the fringe of ultrarunning: the 100-miler.

The Fools claim to be absolutely normal, yet they run 100-milers... apparently on a whim. Isn't that an oxymoron? How do they do it? Why do they do it? Could you run 100-miles, too? Why might you want to?

There will be entertaining stories about long distance trail running, some more foolish than others, that will have you itching to lace up your trail shoes. Even if you rather have a root canal than run 100 miles, you'll appreciate the humour and insights into what makes these "fools" keep on going (and going, and going....) You'll also hear why running a 100-miler is the easy part when you learn what it takes to "crew" a 100-mile runner.

Please note that this speaker event had to be canceled due to illness.  Please check back for more speaker events with Kintec later in the year.

Now that the 2007 racing season is winding down, it’s time to start planning how to make 2008 a year of personal bests!
