Thanks Mark and Vince.

Perhaps fun runs or impromptu group runs a la Monica are the way to
go. I'd love to organize a winter fun run on the trails near
Creemore, if I can find 2 - 3 people willing to kill themselves by
packing down the 4 feet of snow on the trails (I'm in!) before the
group starts.

due to a later Thanksgiving this year, they moved the race date and a
few guys could not make it.  It is usually the first day of hunting
season and your run is accompanied by gun shots most of way.   It has
been sold out for a while.
