At a Stage 7 to remember, our winners stayed golden. Congratulations to our wire-to-wire Gold Jersey wearers! Vicki and Rob each came in as cumulative winners. Robert Brouillette ran the 3rd fastest ever time, his Stage 7 time of 2:36:36 bringing him just four minutes shy of the 10:02:55 time from 2003 he has been chasing all week…. Read more »
Thank you for another great year! The above photo is the official 2016 Ultimate Finisher group photo. It’s an emotional experience for runners who have become both competitors and friends over the course of the week. But to reach that photo, runners were put through one final test: The Marathon. On a morning where runners,… Read more »
How fast would you run a 10 KM race, the day before a marathon? How fast could you go the day after Stage 5? Stage 6 is only 10 kilometres, but it is tricky. It’s popular for Guests and unpopular among Ultimates for similar reasons; flat and fast can be a bad recipe if you’re… Read more »

At Stage 4,… Read more »
The third Stage of ENDURrun is its largest yet – a 30 kilometre cross country course. It’s hot. It’s loopy.

In the first lap, runners pass an ominous “40 KM” sign: Ultimates have run one-quarter of the week’s… Read more »
The second Stage of ENDURrun is a cycling-inspired time trial. At this Stage, runners start individually and chase those ahead of them for 15 kilometres of flat country roads. It leads to solo efforts and exciting finishes! Our gold jersey wearers, Angela Batsford-Mermans and Robert Brouillette, each won their division today and extended their cumulative leads,… Read more »
