Thank you for you participation in the inaugural Goose Bump 6 Hour Race! Congratulations to all of us for our achievements. Whatever your goals, we hope you enjoyed yourself and that you are pleased with how the day went for you. The weather was about as perfect as one can get for the very end of November, thankfully.

From Katherine and my perspective, everything went as well or better than we anticipated. We had 16 racers, which is amazing, and the self-timing and lap counting system worked. We didn’t expect that we would spend so much time in the early hours of the race stopping to talk to people and dealing with organizational matters, which I guess is what happens when you are participating and also need to ensure everything works well.

We want to thank all the supporters who came out. It was very very nice to see people at the finish area in the final hour! We also appreciated the hot chocolate, cookies, muffins, hot cider, coffee, and other supplies that people brought out: what an unexpected pleasure that was! So, thanks to Jen Ruland, Gay Renouf, Kathryn Rachnar, and Conor Renouf’s friend (I’m sorry, we never got a name—We would be more than happy to send out a personalized thank you if someone will send us her name…).

Please let us know if you are interested in further low-key and informal events like this. If there is interest, we would look to possibly doing another 6 hour race in the future.

Goose Bump 6 Hour Run, Nov. 30, 2013

What: Goose Bump 6 Hour Run

Where: Wascana Park, Regina, SK
              Start and staging is in the parking lot east of the Marina

When: November 30, 2013
              6:15 a.m., check-in and briefing
              6:30 a.m., start
              12:30 p.m., all full laps completed by this time will count

Course: 
 -the course follows the paved path around Wascana Lake, approximately 3.98 km
 -the precise course distance will be posted as soon as it has been measured using a calibrated measuring wheel
 -the entire course is lit, so there shouldn't be any issues with visibility in the early hours

How:  
  - as advertised: the race will use the lake path as its course; run or walk as many or few laps as you want, but only completed laps count--no partial laps: if the time runs out and you are somewhere on the course, the last completed lap is the one that counts

 -this is intended to be a low key race; I will provide a tally sheet for recording competed laps and splits (participants to sign in each lap); participants are expected to provide their own water and nutrition, but if we have an unseasonably warm day, then I will provide water by my vehicle; as we will pass by our vehicles every lap, it should be easy for each of us to access our own supplies *** if I can find a volunteer or two to handle the lap counting and water/nutrition, I'll certainly use them

-the course will be open, so please be courteous of other runners, walkers, etc.

Registration: there is no registration fee; pet food items or pet toys/supplies are requested as a donation to the Humane Society (I will collect before the start and deliver them)

-while I expect to be able to accept race day registrations, it would be ideal to have advance registration by email (see address below); I will close registration once registrations hit 20

What you get: 

-a pleasant environment with fun people to join you as you run or walk (or do both!) for the pure pleasure of sport

-good weather is not guaranteed! 

-I will provide a special race memento to all starters who register by November 20

-race results will be posted on this site
