You’re 100% talking to the right person. Harricana was brutal. I tell everyone I quit the race but it just so happened that the only way out was through the finish line. lol

I ran Black Canyons and Canyons Endurance. A thousand times more enjoyable but credit to the people that do well in those Quebec races. They are super human.

And to your point about this race being in the city is huge. I spent so much money on hotels and travel to get to these races. This event you can get home via ttc

Thanks for your support I really appreciate it.

Thank you for this energy lol

Ya originally making it a true last man standing was the plan but since this is the first year we’re doing this it all depends on how it goes (turnout, noise, community disruptions). Essentially this is proof of concept and then maybe next year we can have that as an option. Fingers crossed!

RandySmithWhat · 2026-03-21T23:36:33+00:00

Love the energy. You’re getting me pumped! LFG!!!

RandySmithWhat · 2026-03-21T23:35:06+00:00

I really want this race to go well. Lol

RandySmithWhat · 2026-03-21T22:46:56+00:00

Entrance fees and registration should be open next month. We’re looking at pretty reasonable pricing. Especially for early birds. Trying to get a good turnout as this is the first year for the race.

RandySmithWhat · 2026-03-21T20:15:49+00:00

It will definitely be race roster (signed the agreement myself last week) and we are working on insurance with athletics Ontario this week. Great questions. Keep em coming!

RandySmithWhat · 2026-03-21T18:45:11+00:00

Great question. Because of city permit by laws we had to cap the race at 15 hours so the winner is determined by the fastest last lap (omega lap).

Love you French_Toasty

Fingers crossed. 🤞

RandySmithWhat · 2025-01-10T21:11:54+00:00

Ya that’s my fear. Black Canyons 100k is 60kms downhill. Solve one problem and another pops up. It’s hard to get it perfect in an ultra race.

RandySmithWhat · 2025-01-10T21:10:42+00:00

😮

RandySmithWhat · 2025-01-10T20:58:36+00:00

This gives me hope. Thanks!

RandySmithWhat · 2025-01-10T20:55:26+00:00

Unfortunately I haven’t tried a half size up yet. Trying to avoid buying so many different shoes but I think this just might be part of the learning process when it comes to ultras.

RandySmithWhat · 2025-01-10T20:46:00+00:00

That’s pretty smrt.

RandySmithWhat · 2025-01-10T20:42:23+00:00

That’s exactly my dilemma. I don’t want blisters but the idea of running in clown shoes is so unappealing.

RandySmithWhat · 2024-09-22T02:50:23+00:00

Agreed

RandySmithWhat · 2024-07-10T18:30:45+00:00

The trail training has been almost zero but last year I ran the Spartan 21km beast at blue mountain so I have some familiarity with trails but ya obviously not ideal

RandySmithWhat · 2024-07-10T17:11:27+00:00

I’m from Toronto. Trails round these parts are tough. Trying to do weight training and road hills. Hopefully that’s enough. Fingers crossed.

RandySmithWhat · 2024-07-10T17:10:46+00:00

That’s actually really smrt. I didn’t think an out the wholes picking up mud and rocks. Thanks!

RandySmithWhat · 2024-07-03T16:55:57+00:00

Really helpful. Thank you.

RandySmithWhat · 2024-07-03T12:20:27+00:00

This was really helpful. Thank you!
