The high winds and cool temperature didn’t keep the Nautilus Running Club from enjoying their annual Boxing Day run. Pictured left are a few runners tuffing it out.

Local runner Bob Miller joins the “Running Away” club with plans to do the Canadian Death Race this August through the Rocky Mountain foothills in Alberta. The course covers 125 kilometers through 17,000 feet of elevation change, over 3 mountain summits, across the Smoky and Sulphur rivers, and through Hell’s Gate canyon. All in a day’s work … or maybe 2 days! Good Luck Bob!

Scroll down and on the right you will find a new section called “RUNNING AWAY”. We will feature local runners training for out of province races. Today’s featured runner is Caroline Mcilroy who is running the Miami Marathon on January 28.

If you know someone who is running away, let us know about it and send us a picture.

… and all the best
in the New Year !
