Club Smart Ass Fraser Valley Fat Ass 50/25 Km Run

Jan. 1st 2005
MKRF/Golden Ears Park
Forest Rds. & Trails

This was a first annual event held in traditional FA style.
There was no entry fee, minimal marking and aid, and maximum
fun. The route covered sections of the Malcolm Knapp UBC
Research Forest & Golden Ears Provincial Park located in Maple
Ridge, B.C.

Sitting at home watching the unfolding tragedy in Southeast
Asia the night before the event I decided to pledge $15 to
the Red Cross for every runner who showed up. After announcing
this at the start and inviting anyone else to pitch in we managed
to raise a total of $350 for this cause.

In stark contrast to the people living through these events we
ran through forested trails in cool, partially sunny, weather with
only sore legs and self-induced over-exertion to worry about. It
truly made me feel so fortunate to be living here surrounded by
friends and fellow runners on this first day of the new year.

I'd like to thank everyone who came out to support this event.
