Haney Harrison 100Km
Saturday, November 5th, 2005
Harrison Hot Springs, BC, Canada
Darin Bentley of Surrey, BC, in his first 100Km and only his second
ultra, ran a steady and consistent race for a come from behind win in
this year's Haney Harrison 100Km in a time of 8:18:01 This was the
second year in a row where this race has been won by a top Ironman
triathlete stepping up to the 100Km distance. Second place went to
Richard Webb of Calgary in 8:46:38, who knocked an hour and 12
minutes off his previous year's time. Third place was captured by
early leader Hardial Singh Athwal of North Delta in a very creditable
time of 8:52:49 in his very first ultra.
Wendy Montgomery of Brackendale won the women's race for the third
consecutive year in a time of 9:19:29. Her performance at this race
has been remarkably consistent with all three successive wins being
within a ten minute time window. Second place in the women's race in
a time of 10:29:41 went to Christin Collishaw who also was competing
in her first ultra.
This year saw two runners finish the race for the fifth time. Former
race winner Rob Wall of Courtenay and Leland Wakelin of Surrey,
became the 5th and 6th runners to achieve this milestone.
However, one of the more memorable performances was turned in by 71
year old Roger RouFosse who completed the race in 14:39:34 to become
the oldest finisher in the history of the race. Roger finished the
race in high spirits, telling jokes to the volunteers as he crossed
the finish line. This was also Roger's first 100Km race although he
has been an age group winner at a number of marathons.
The course consists of paved highways following British Columbia's
scenic Sasquatch Drive. Starting just outside Vancouver in Maple
Ridge, the course winds its way over rolling hills, passing through
Mission and into the lush farmlands of the Fraser Valley enroute to
the finish in the idyllic resort community of Harrison Hot
Springs. This year's race weather was almost perfect for running,
with temperatures in the mid 40's and relatively dry conditions
(other than some early rain at the start).
Of course, if it wasn't for the volunteers, nobody would be running
at all. This year, Cheryl Johnson came out to spend her day on the
course helping others, and adventure racers Brett and Kyla Adams
sacrificed a training day to see just how much fun ultrarunners can
have. After all, we do this for fun ... right ? Veteran race
announcer Steve King was on hand for the full day from the very first
finisher to the very last finisher announcing the arrival of each
runner. And of course, I can't forget my own wife, Cathy, who just
loves =:-0 to spend the day standing around in the cold in November
making sure that each of the runners is looked after. The race is
held in conjunction with the Haney Harrison road relay. The efforts
of relay race management made the whole event possible and the
contributions of Jerry Tighe, Greg White and Brian McCalder cannot go
unnoticed.
This race was first conceived and started in 1997, because at that
time there were relatively few ultra races on the calendar. In our
first year, we had 14 finishers. That year, a week before the race
we only had 6 people signed up. So, it is very gratifying this year
to have the biggest field ever in the history of the race with 42
starters and 37 finishers. It is also very gratifying to see how
many first time ultra runners have successfully conquered the 100Km
distance, not only this year, but over the 9 year history of the event.

VOLUNTEERS AN INTEGRAL PART OF 6-DAY RACE SUCCESS
With the 20th Cliff Young Australian 6-day race looking like being one of the best multi-day races of all time, the volunteers and committee that have been working tirelessly behind the scenes for the past six months should be praised for their efforts in bringing the race together for the 20th time, said Phil Essam, Australian Ultrarunning Historian .
"One of the areas that makes the Colac race special are the volunteers. They are generally not runners, but they do so much to understand and meet the needs of the competitors and they realise the value that the race brings to Colac" said Essam, Commentator and Webmaster for this year's race.
One of the volunteers that has been tireless in her contribution towards the race has been the Race treasurer, Pat Heffernan. She has balanced the books for several years, doorknocked local businesses every year for donations and run the souvenir stand during the race each year. "Pat is an example of Aussie volunteering at it's Best" said Essam.
More Volunteers are needed to help out during the race though. People are needed to help lap score (especially on the first day with 37 runners entered), help set up the Memorial Square on the 18th and 19th of Nov, crew for any of the runners and myriad of other duties that need to be done during the week. If you can help volunteer at the race, please call Kay Daniels on 0419341819.
The race starts at midday on the 20th of November 05 and runs thorugh till the 25th of November at Memorial Square in Colac. People are encouraged to come down and support the world class field that has been ensembled or follow it on the internet at http://www.sixdayrace.org.au .

Capitol Peak Ultras for 2006
Please check our upcoming races for 2006 in Capitol Forest:
http://www.capitolpeakultras.com/
The 5th annual Mega Fat Ass will be on January 21, 2006 with the same theme and start as last year: no frills, no awards, no t's but a small $3 fee to help pay for permit fees. The course will follow the same 17 mile loop, with 34 miles as the double loop. Donations will be appreciated that will go towards the McQueeney Memorial Fund. The start will be at 8:00 a.m. at Falls Creek campground. Check the website for more details for driving directions and waiver if you are under 18. No pre-registration necessary, just come as you are with your donation and a happy smile for another fun time in the mud in Capitol Forest! http://www.capitolpeakultras.com/cpmfaindex.htm
The 2nd annual Capitol Peak 50 mile has been rescheduled for April 15, 2006. This race will have a RELAY option that includes a 2-person (running one 25 mile legs each) and 4-person (running two 8-12 mile legs each) both covering the entire 50 mile course. The start/finish has been changed to the Falls Creek campground and the starting time will be 6:00 a.m. for regular starters and 5:00 a.m. for early starters. Relay start will be at 7:00 a.m. Relay teams may start at the 6:00 a.m. The 50 mile course will follow the same route as last years route but starting approximatly 22 miles into the run, making the 2000 Captitol Peak climb ealier in the race, but the (most likely) muddy 1800 ft climb up from Hells Creek during the latter part of the race. See the website for more details. I'll have the mail in and online entry form all completed in the next couple of weeks.
http://www.capitolpeakultras.com/CP50mile.htm All proceeds will benefit the Evergreen State College cross country team and other Olympia high school cross country teams!
Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering for the 50 mile and Relay!
Looking forward in seeing you all out on the trails soon!
Maybe perhaps some of you at the Autumn Leaves 50/50 which I'll be attempting my first 50 miler since my knee injury.
See you on the trails!

Tells what you need to know.
If you are unsure as to how close you can come to walking 100 miles in 24 hours (the goal of a Centurion race), remember that there is still a 24 hour competition. And, if there is sufficient interest, I'll "medal" anyone who makes 100 km (walking 100% of the time) in a 24 hour period. This might be a good time to see if ultrawalking is for you!
Hope to see some more of you there!

We have entries ranging from the distinguished (a Nigerian walker from the UK) to the truly pathetic (yours truly) and some inbetween!
There is still time to sign up, but the deadline for entering the Ultracentric race is November the 15'th.
