Here are a few comments from some of the runners from the 2010 event…

“Thanks running such an amazing event this weekend. Once the mist cleared up it really was a beautiful day for a run.”

“Your event was the same day as the Scotia Marathon and half marathon this year … you may have more people from Toronto who want to run. Your course is way nicer and way easier on the body.”

“Thanks for a great event on Sunday.  The volunteers at the water stations were very encouraging and the overall organization was great…..thank you!  I love the t-shirt and bag that we got “

“I just wanted to email you & let you know how much I enjoyed the race today. It was a very well run event. Everything from the organization of the event, the volunteers, the water/gatorade tables & post-race food was great!! The course is the most beautiful race course I have ever ran. I look forward to running this race again next year & I will definitely let my running group know about this event.”

“A personal best at your event! Thanks for a great race!”

With only a few days until race day, we are filled with excitement. Our numbers are up from last year, we have a 5 km race in the mix, race shirts and medals look awesome, and the weather looks like it will be a perfect running day.

A few details leading up to the race:

1. Race kit pick up happens at the Blue Mountain Village in the gazebo by Sunset Grill. Anytime between 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm If you are not able to pick up your race kit at this time, please contact us at Ruth@BlueMountainMarathon.com so we can make alternate arrangements for you.

3. Medals and Awards ceremony will follow as soon as the last runner is in, or at 11:00am (whichever comes first)

We look forward to seeing everyone out on Sunday!!

We’re at it again…the 2^nd Annual Blue Mountain Marathon is almost here. And this year we are planning to have it a little bigger and better. Last year’s event was a hit! Beautiful weather, a beautiful course and a great turn out made this great event an astounding success

 Some of the changes for this year include:

• Chip timing to have more accurate timing of all our runners
• A new 5 km course to make the race available to more runners
• Improved start and finish line
• Photographers on the course

 Early Bird Registration ends Friday September 10th. Register NOW so you don’t miss out.

That’s right, just 53 days to go and the race registration numbers are through the roof.

Last year (our first year) we had just under 100 runners. This year we are going to blow that number away.
To kept things manageable, we have a self-imposed 250 runner limit.   The way things are going, it looks like we will get there.
If you have not already done so, please register.  Details at www.BlueMountainMarathon.com
Please forward this reminder to your running partners too.
