Ignore our time...we were snowshoeing and breaking trail almost the whole time...we are hoping to snow will be gone by the long weekend in May....

We will be starting at the ballfield and heading up the Fitz trail all the way to the cell tower. Here we have reached the highest point (Whew!) and a water and snack station!! The descent begins with Blowdown which takes us along the back of the mountain to the Sweet Severn trail. This trail leads to the Kilt trail - a beautiful vista where you can see all the way across the Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island! This is our favorite trail - even running up it! Once we have reached the bottom of Kilt, we hit a short stretch of double track before heading onto Maddie's Madness - a fun, twisting downhill singletrack that leads to Reindeer Road (more downhill!) At the bottom of Reindeer Road you will recognize the bridge you crossed at the start - almost finished! Continue back down the Fitz trail to the cheeering fans, the finish line and more food!

{ We will be posting the 14k course which will not be another loop of the 7k course.  It will take you out along the top of the mountain on a single track, past 2 wind turbines, out further, turn around and head back to the water station.  So, for that 7k section of the course, there will be two way traffic.Then you head down the same trails as the 7k course. }

Hard At It

Although the calendar tells us Spring has arrived, Winter is still hard at it.  Our mountain remains a snowy haven for the snowshoers.  We have attempted a few runs but deep snow and sketchy footing has made for some interesting mornings.

The planning of our run is well under way.  Lists are made, bibs are here, volunteers are lining up.  We range from excited to panicked and back again.  The count down is on.

We want you to know we are looking forward to sharing our favourite place on earth with you, our fellow trail runners.  

Even though Winter still has its grip on our mountain, we are seeing it on race day.  Trails marked, marshals in place, the buzz of excitement in the air.

Just when you think you have everything under control, three, ten, fifteen more things pop up that you haven't thought of before.  So, on the list it goes.

Be sure to register at www.atlanticchip.ca for the First Annual Fitz Frenzy Trail Run.

It's going to be EPIC!

Can't wait to see you there.  Train well, train smart.
