It's time for the Ha Ling Solstice Challenge

Some 45 runners.

12 hours.
1 mountain.

I’m not sure how it happened but I am doing this crazy mountain Canmore meet up on Saturday. The challenge? How many times can you run up and down Ha Ling in 12 hours? Runners start at the trail head at 5:26 a.m. and finish at 5:26 p.m.

Sounds like fun, right? I convinced Diane who convinced Liz to join me in Canmore. We’re leaving Friday after work. It would be crazy to drive that day.

My first experience with Ha Ling was last summer after Grizzly 50K.  I was there a few weeks ago too. It’s about 6K return. My goal is to go up and down at least three times. I anticipate there will be lengthy breaks on my part. All in the name of training!

I can’t wait to do this challenge with Diane and Liz. We’re going to have a blast!

Bring on the weekend.
