Just finished the ninth annual Abbotsford Care Run held just before the rain began to fall at Rotary Stadium. Even though the numbers were a bit down this year, the on-course support was exceptional. For the two-lap ten kilometre course there were six aid stations, so you were never far from water. Another aspect of the run course that I think that other race organizers could learn from Irene Henrichs and her support crew was course markings. As you know, if you have your race brain on, you are not thinking too much. This morning’s course was super well-marked. I do not think I ran for more than maybe sixty seconds without seeing some kind of course markings, be they balloons, volunteers, mile markers, or aid stations. Congratulations to Cares Counseling and Restoration Services as well as all the participants in the event. We will have the race results coming up on our next podcast.
