Its $55 to register now, its on April 22nd.

and its ALL DOWN HILL!! woo, which is great!!

I'm already registered, and have been training every day.. but I've been mostly staying at the 5k mark and haven't gone beyond yet.. Im working up to it once i master the longer running times..

Let me know if you join!

I love how there is a walker section and even nordic pole people, lol!

I've never been a runner but I walk almost 4km on my lunch in <40 min in the downtown core just in my regular work-clothes and winter jacket just for fun (I do kick-boxing at home as my 'real' exercise) so it would be "easy" to walk 10k downhill in workout gear! Wednesdays I walk 6km, 4km on lunch and then 2km uphill to UofT after work for a grad class.

I guess walking it would take me less than 2 hours but I can't convince friends to go hence boring, oh well. Thanks for posting the info though!

I did my first 5k on my own..
And I'm doing this with a bunch of people, so if you want to join us you are welcome to join our group! One of my friends is walking it.

Add me if you like we can talk about it!

Juice - how steep is the downhill for this race, do you have to do any type of special preparation?

I've just been running on a treadmill for the past 3 months and was going to enter this race but I probably need at least 3-4 weeks of road running to get ready I guess.
