Suzanne Dionne (Burlington
Rock!!) Runs in Vancouver
By Suzanne
Just a little blurb to let you know it was a great
race. You would of thought that they were expecting 400 people
since it was registration till the last minute. They got 4,000.
They should have known to have a wider start and a few more
port a potties too. There were none to use along the way or
maybe I saw one where there was quite a line up. I was a bit
disapointed that I was too late to get sports drinks at two
stops and there was not enough volunteers to serve the runners
water so you had to pour your own.. I don't think that it slowed
me down to much but I had to do the work.
A few down hills and a few interesting grades. I would recommend
it only if you are there already. You only run into Stanley
Park for about 1km. I had a good time of 2:07 since it was a
very slow start but the hills really help but the sun was giving
me a bit to much heat. Thank god I wore my sunglasses. I still
got a really good sun tan with Bull Frog spf 36.
See you soon

ps Nicole was not far behing with a 2:12 so she is improving
every time
Vancouver's Race Report
Bright sunny skies, no wind and pleasant
14°C temperatures greeted the record field of 4,000
runners in the 2006 Scotiabank Vancouver Half Marathon.
Another 500 runners participated in the accompanying
5k in Stanley Park. Participants were drawn from nine
different countries and eighteen American states.
The Half Marathon took off at 7 am from
the University of British Columbia. At the gun, the
lead pack of six took off including Giitah Macharia
of St. Catharines, Danny Kassap of
Toronto, Joseph Nsengyiumva of Ottawa,
Nourrdinne Betchim of Montreal and
local favourites Jim Finlayson of Victoria
and Steve Osaduik.
At the 1k mark, the four easteners (Macharia,
Kassap, Betchim and Nsengyiumva) split away to form
a lead pack that would run comfortably together to 7k.
Kassap and Macharia and Nsengyiumva continued to pace
and dropped Betchim at 7k.
The three continued together running strongly
through the rolling mid- section of the course, no-one
making any moves until the 18.5k mark heading down a
short steep hill onto Beach Road, where Macharia and
Kassap surged and dropped Nsengyiumva.
At 20k as Macharia and Kassap careened downhill to the
seawall, Giitah made his decisive move, striding ahead,
and continued his kick along the final stretch to win
comfortably in 1:04:30. Danny followed closely in for
second only eight seconds back in 1:04:38.
Joseph completed the Eastern sweep, finishing
in 1:04:52. Jim Finlayson was the top BC/Westerner,
grabbing fourth spot in 1:06:56.
In the women's race, the West swept the
podium. Calgarian Lisa Harvey dominated from the start
to finish running comfortably in for the win in 1:17:59.
Local favourite Leah Pells of Coquitlam finished a strong
second in 1:18:49. Rounding out the top three was Nancy
Tinari of Vancouver in 1:22:10.
Note: Danny
Kassup trains with native Sudburian, Jamie Black, in
Toronto

Camp Trail Trot Fun Run/Walk
2.5 k/
5 k/ 10 k
June 24, 2006
at 9:00 a.m. at the Boom Camp Conservation Park, Blind River
ON.
from Alison White
I have attached our results. A return runner from Naughton -
I think from Sudbury area - completed in an amazing time of
44:15. The courses were tough this year, we were pleased to
have 100% running on the trails. (Clinton
Lahnalampi and Allison Pinavd represented us locals at their
event) vp
Thank you very much for your suggestion for run
numbers. We will continue to use your system for future runs.
The event went OK but numbers worked fine. Shortage
of volunteers was our main concern.
Thank you for your assistance. Should you require an extra volunteer
for any of your events, I would be happy to assist.
