June 4, 2011

If you are heading to Whistler the weekend before the conference, you can hang out with me cheering the runners at the Whistler Half Marathon. My friend, Heather Abernethy, who works for Tourism Whistler, will be running so I plan to be there jumping up and down.

This first annual race takes place on a 21.1 kilometre course that includes Whistler’s main Village, scene of many celebrations during last year’s 2010 Winter Olympics. The gently-rolling course also winds through nearby neighbourhoods and along Whistler’s already-popular running paths, offering spectacular mountain views throughout. Proving to be a hit with runners, this event is now sold out for 2011. Course details and description here.

I just came across this and thought the 2011 Conference attendees (and families) might be interested. Click on the link at the end for more details.
