Promise of a trail run that ends with Champagne and Mars Bars draws a crowd

Thanks to the 42 trail runners who came out for a fun run that ended with booze and chocolate.

A special thanks to all the people who I guess don't like my choice of cheap bubbly wine and mini chocolate bars, and brought out better candy and chocolate as well as baked goods, imported beer, some not as cheap bubbly wine and Baileys Irish Cream.

As you can see in the photo below there was a long line of vehicles parked along the road at the run start line.

Champagne and Mars Bar Trail Run 2021

Hello to all you trail kickers.

It has been over a year and half since we last got together for a trail run, and what better way to entice you to show up again than to tempt you with cheap chocolate and even cheaper booze.

To those who have not been to our pre-COVID 'Champagne and Mars Bar' trail run, we used this as our trail running end of season event. 

Normally held on the last Saturday in October at the trail that was the birthplace of the Soiled Sport Trail Running Group, Komoka trails. 

This year the Soiled Sport executive invite you on Saturday November 6th to rather than a season ending trail run, but now a season starting 'Champagne and Mars Bar' trail run at Komoka Trails. Start time is 8:01 AM

Please note we meet along Oxford Street east of Woodhull Road. Note the high lighted area in the map below for directions.

To comply with safety protocol we ask that you have a mask on hand and keep a distance when running. For those who have not been out to our trail  runs or those of you who just plain forget, we stop a various locations on the trail to re-group so no on gets lost or runs alone.

Afterwards you are invited to help yourself to some Champagne and Mars Bars under the Soiled Sport tent. Should you have some Halloween candy that you wish to offer up as well, feel free to bring it out. I would say the same thing about the champagne but no trail runner worth his dirt would have any extra booze.

On Wednesday evenings at Kains Woods Trail - West, (Kains Road and Westdel Bourne) at 6:01 and headlamps are required.

Saturday Soiled Sport trail running will also resume and you will get a heads up e-mail with locations in the near future as we are not sure if we will stick to a Medway Trail location for the winter months as we have done in the past.

Cheers!

Hope to see you Saturday morning.

November 2020 Trail Runs

 Just a short note to give you an update on weekly trail running taking place. 

Wednesday evenings at 6:01 PM at Kains Woods West Trail (headlamps required)

Saturday mornings at 8:01 AM at Medway Forest Trail

Sunday mornings at 8:01 AM at Kains Woods West Trail

There are social distancing requirements to keep a safe distance from other runners and having a bandana around your neck or other suitable face covering would be greatly appreciated when not running.

I do need to warn you that Bill W. (picture below) leads everyone into a post run workout that will leave your arms limp. 

But don't say you can't stay because you have urgent business elsewhere as that is my excuse.

For those who forget where the trails are after months of eating your homemade bread, there is a link to all the trail on our blog.

Cheers!

Trail Running Etiquette

I am sure you already do all the above anyhow....

This poster was prepared by the University of Iowa health department and was featured on a trail running post that I follow and thought was worth sharing.

Now More Than Ever!!

Check the Labels 

With the world COVID-19 pandemic straining everything we do, we need to help our nation and fellow Canadians to rebound as quick as possible.

Yes, our federal and provincial governments are aiding with billions of dollars of aid to laid of workers and companies affected from being non-essential, to help with the social distancing.
But this money is not from a secret stash and we all know that it will be asked for in the near future as increases in sales tax and reduction of services.

So,when it comes to your purchasing decisions, take time to check the label and see where it was fabricated, made or sourced.
This alone will help businesses get to have their employees back to work, a kick start to the economy we need to have.
(One thing that peeves me off when I check the label and all it says is "Prepared for Loblaws/Sobies/Metro" as it could have been prepared anywhere in the world and we wont know where.)

No, I am  not advocating boycotting any other nations goods or services, but this simple task  will help Canada's economy get back on some sort of "new normal"even sooner.

Stay safe, and will see you on the trails soon.
