It really could not have been a better day weather wise for this run. For those of you that have not run this in warmer weather, the cooler atmospheric conditions made for more grippable surfaces than usual. Thanks to all the amazing runners that came out and completed an extraordinarly tough 21.5km plus run!

Thanks to the tremendous work from volunteers that really make this possible, and their boundless enthusiasm for marvellous adventures such as these. Denise, Shannon, Doug, Judy, Simon, Karine, and Leah all got a little shivery, but kept everybody pointed in the right direction! I hope to see you at next year's run for a little switcharoo of the course!

2017 Musquodoboit Muffin Run Point-to-Point Run.
Sunday November 12th at 10 am, point to point run on the Musquodoboit Wilderness Trail. Please read carefully.
1. Much longer duration run. This will take you between 2.5 to 4 hours of running and power hiking, mostly on wilderness singletrack.
2.There is a strict 1 hour 50 minute cut-off at the junction of the North and South Granite Ridge trails. If necessary, you will be required to skip the South Ridge portion and continue parallel on the rail-trail to the finish line.
3. This is a point-to-point event so you will need to coordinate with fellow runners to shuttle one of your vehicles to the end of the course. Arrive early enough to do this.
4. There are no feed stations, so you are absolutely required to carry food, water, a fully charged mobile device, and a wind shell jacket. A small backpack is highly recommended. If you don't have a mobile, partner with a buddy. Please eat breakfast before this event and carry at least 500 calories in snacks. It will very likely be cold and wet and you will definitely need extra energy.
Registration is at the Bayer's Mill Rd. entrance! But, the run BEGINS at Gibraltar parking lot - that is the north most parking lot at the very end of the Musuquodoboit Rail Trail about 15 km up the Meagher's Grant Road. So the run goes in a general North South direction.
While this is an opportunity to do something unique and adventurous, it will require extra COOPERATION between runners to shuttle cars. Please organize your ride before you drive to the start line. The run finishes at the end of Bayer's Mill Rd. Trail entrance at the gate. It is advised you park your car here, or one of your fellow runners park a car here on Bayer's Mill Rd. in order to retrieve the other parked vehicle from the Gibraltar parking lot.
The run begins on approximately 1.6 km of flat rail trail right from the gate at Gibraltar parking lot before going into 17.5 km of technical wilderness singletrack. Then it pops back onto the rail trail for 2 km of flat rail trail to the gate at the side of the rail trail that is also the end of Bayer's Mill Rd. Total distance is approximately 21 kilometres.
There will be treats at the Bayer's Mill Rd. Gate at the end of the run. It is highly ADVISED to leave a bag of warm dry clothes to change into with me at the finish- you may have to wait otherwise for cars to be unlocked, or driven, etc. This is not a requirement, but you will thank yourself for your good planning.
Registration is $20 at the Finish parking lot on day of the run. Registration is done at 9:30 so please arrive early to switch vehicles, and register and drive to the start. Runners are required to read and sign a legal waiver, and also fill in the sign-in sheet.
In summary:
Bring your pack with food and water.
Register at the finish line, leave your warm dry clothes here.
Drive to the start -- approximately ten minute drive.
Have fun.
