Description:
I need some accountability to get out on some trail runs so let's go see big trees and waterfalls on a post-work run to Kennedy Falls along the big cedar trail.
This will be about 12km and 500m elevation (the all trails link is here; https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/canada/british-columbia/kennedy-falls-via-cedar-tree-trail?mobileMap=false&ref=sidebar-static-map).
I'm not that fast of a runner and I plan on it being pretty relaxed (slow pace ft. semi-frequent butt breaks), we'll go as slow as the slowest runner. This is more about getting out and having a fun after work excursion than getting a new PB. Trail running experience isn't really necessary, but please at least be comfortable road running that distance if you've not trail run before. I anticipate this taking about 2-2.5 hours so be prepared to be out for that long.
We'll start from the Fromme mountain biking parking lot (here; https://goo.gl/maps/CkBgczh6eWgy7rTx6) which is transit accessible to the bottom of the hill on mountain highway.
You'll need:
-water
-trail running shoes
-fuel (snacks or gels or chews or whatever you like)
-an extra layer
-headlamp
-basic first aid stuff
-a small pack that is comfortable to run with (or a running vest if you're fancy)
I've put 5:30 to meet at the trailhead, if anyone would like to come but the time doesn't work, let me know and we can try to find a time that will work for everyone interested!
I also have a golden retriever, Buddy, who I intend on bringing with me if everyone is okay with that. He tries his best to be a good boy and is a 10/10 on fluffiness and friendliness.
