The Musquodoboit Muffin run went off with a bang, or to say more accurately, finished with several bangs, as the last few runners were pushed along to finish by accompanying timpanies of thunder from a passing storm.

There was some truly inspirational efforts by runners that have never run the Admiral Lake trail before, or had even imagined running something like that before. There were even a couple part-time runners out to see what they could muster. Amazing run especially by Tim B. who ran a negative split [-1:30] the second lap without his glasses.
A deep bow with flourishes to the growing list of supporters to trail running:
The Adventure Outfitters for outfitting our terrific volunteers (Mary, John, Doug, Judy, Bert, & Susan thank you all)with gift certificates! Plus two gift certificates were drawn to happy recipients.
Mountain Equipment Co-op for providing super awesome Vector tees for the first place finishers!
Java Blend for providing us with some much needed medium roast Columbian and the magic carafe! Thanks Jim!!
