The Trappers' Running Club was delighted to read, "The True North Strong, Free and Fast: The Great Canadian Marathon Guide" By Erin Sheard.
The Trapline Marathon got tagged as the best trip back in time! Here is what iRUN Magazine had to say, "In the days of old Sunday was a day of rest, so running on a Saturday is a must for racers tackling this historic trapline route. The Destination Labrador Trapline Marathon (October 9) in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NF dares you to run full tilt. With the website specifying the average speed of both the mosquito and the moose, full tilt is the best gear. At the finish line head to the trapper's tent for warm tea and a traditional aboriginal feast. Yes, they serve flummies."
iRUN full tilt for flummies!
