Buntzen Lake – Saturday September 19th, 2009
It was a wet start for the last race of the BC 5 Peaks Trail Running Series season at Buntzen Lake last weekend. By the time the 474 racers crossed the start line, the weather began to clear to make way for a fantastic day of racing. The season finale featured three distances, Sport, Enurdo and the ½ Marathon.
The Sport route took an undulating 11km loop around Bunten Lake. Martin Fitchie of Glasgow, GB finished first for the men with a time of 48:20. Setting a new course record of 52:51 for the females was Jessalyn O’Donnel of Victoria. The previous course record of 53:51 was set in 2008 by Coquitlam’s Cindy Gilles. read more
