Musquodoboit Muffin Run Results

Scheduling a trail race in the late days of November is an opportunity for us all to experience the drama and ensuing personal victory that comes with playing in the challenging elements harsh as they are in this particular season. The brightness of human will playing out amongst the dark decomposing foliage in a an ebb and flow of rain persistent as the waves beating upon the shore.

Thank you to the Musquodoboit Trailways Association for providing permission and their ongoing upkeep of an outstanding wilderness trail system. Also thank you very much to Jeff for providing administrative duties, and Iain, and Bert for pointing people in the correct direction.  Also thank-you to the Skelhorns for providing delicious pumpkin muffins

Thank you to all the runners. As a race director it is impossible to put into words why we think we do this, but you, the runner is the number one reason in a list in the hundreds of possibly delusion, and at times probably entirely sound, reasons. It is truly inspirational to see the amazing efforts put in by everyone, showing the results of a persistent, and consistent year of training. Congratulations to everyone, and my hat is off to you all for your tremendous performances!
