DIEZ VISTA 50k Trail RUN
DIEZ VISTA 50k Trail RUN
PHOTOS from the 2010 race are available from moraction photography here.
Wow, what a day……what started many weeks ago with the participation of many, culminated on a bright sunny Saturday with so many memorable accomplishments.
Firstly the volunteers, it is an RD’s dream to have a team of volunteers like this group. From the early days of planning to the last moments of clean up, through out the trail marking and day of race events, the Diez Vista Team of volunteers were always there enthusiastically offering their time and energy. They are the real Dream Team !!
The men’s race was so exciting to watch as Gary Robbins of North Vancouver, the course record holder from 2009, duked it out with DV first timer Phil Villeneuve of Canmore AB. For 30+ km they ran pedal to the metal within a few meters of one another. Finally Gary pulled away to win for the second consecutive year with another course record of 4:10:38! Second place went to Chris GT Downie, third to Jacek Doniec.
The course record holder, Suzanne Evans of Coquitlam, led the women’s race from start to finish, crossing the finish line in 4:58:43, followed by Suzanne Johnson in second and Martina Ramage in third place.
The weather was made to order, cool & clear in the morning with bright sunshine for the afternoon post race BBQ. With the perfect weather came many memorable personal accomplishments. Congratulation to all runners, if was a great day.
See you all next year.
