James Cunningham Seawall Race
October, 2008
Vancouver Front Runners always enjoys this local race around the seawall in Stanley Park. The race is an unusal distance, slightly less than 10 km but it's always fun. The race always takes place in the last week of October so many participants try out their Halloween costumes for the run.
Last year VFR had the fastest team entry.

BMO Bank of Montreal Vancouver Marathon May 4, 2008
The Vancouver Marathon is always a favourite event for VFR. With the addition of a relay team this year, we fielded about ten runners.
We started the weekend off with a pasta dinner at Wild Garlic restaurant on Saturday evening. Thanks to Sandy and her team for their hospitality. Thanks to John Andru for organizing.
The weather for the race on Sunday morning couldn't have been better, a cool, dry day.
Congratulations to Trevor Fenton for running a personal best for the full!
The relay team came in first in the community- male division. The flower power baton worked like a charm. Thanks to Bob Knall for sorting out the relay entry.
