The XTC (X-country Trail Challenge) is a low-key trail run held in the North
Shore mountains overlooking Vancouver. It's a very "runnable" course held
in large part on the Trans-Canada Trail in North and West Vancouver. Very
scenic. Perfect Knee Knacker training (without the snow) or get your
volunteer hours in. Some background from previous years at:

The course was designed to appeal as much to the newbie trail runner as the
experienced hard ass. There's a carefully-measured 25K point-to-point route
that goes between the Griffin Gym in North Van and the Cypress Park picnic
area in West Van. Run it uphill from the gym (25K). Run it downhill from
the picnic area (25K). Run it out and back from the gym (50K), or roll your
own distance out-and-back from the gym.

PS A free beer at the Mosquito Creek Grill afterwards for all participants
and volunteers. Thanks to North Shore Athletics, there are prizes for most
lost, best wipeout and the person who collects the most trash while on the
trail!
