Description:
Hello fellow runners!
Join Michael Stone and I for an awesome trail running adventure to Vancouver's classic skyline feature, the Lions!
In July 2016, I did a VOC trail run of the entire Howe Sound Crest Trail. While the event was a super fun challenge, the weather did not cooperate - we had crunchy snow on the ground, thick clouds, and zero views. Hopefully August will provide us with better conditions and vistas!
We will do an out-and-back route from the Cypress downhill ski parking lot to the Lions (NOT the entire HSCT). This route is approximately 21 km. More details about the route can be found here:

(ignore the times - they are estimates for hikers)

(great photos and a video about running the whole HSCT)
There will not be a pre-trip meeting, so carpool arrangements, gear list discussion, additional planning etc will take place via email closer to the event. Let me know if you have any questions!
**Please note that this event requires trail running experience and a high level of physical fitness. We will be running through steep, technical terrain and remote areas.**
**If adverse weather conditions are forecasted for August 18, this event will be moved to August 25**
