ING James Cunningham Seawall Race
October 31, 2004

The James Cunningham is run annually in honour of the man who built the Stanley Park seawall. The route is 9.5 km.

We put together two equally talented, mixed running teams this year and both did very well, second and third in their category. Some of us ran in our Halloween costumes and some of us got to show off our duds on stage afterwards. Congratulations to Richard Luscombe for his cheerleader costume and the well deserved recognition. Oh yes, we also had some rather impressive individual running results.

Vancouver Front Runners held a race on the parade route just prior to the parade. At the encouragement of the crowd, some members--who will remain nameless--pulled their shirts off! However, we got the crowd back by spraying them with a water gun.

The club set up an information booth at the festival after the parade. We signed up ten new Front Runners. Sixteen others asked the club to follow up with more information. Hundreds more dropped by to check out the booth.
