Itinerary:

The Egg Nog Jog is officially listed as 10.8km plus, on the four rural roads encompassing the Terra Cotta Conservation Area. Hiking here is challenging enough. The course involves running to the bottom of the Niagara Escarpment at the Credit River, then progressively up to the top before returning to the start. Though the distance is not too great, this is an exercise in pacing and requires substantial hill training. It often snows or rains, and the roads may be slippery.

As Darrel is the reigning champ at this point, and deservedly so, I will nonetheless eagerly claim victory in his absence. There may be some stiff competition from Alex though, who should be closer to his own peak. We might also expect some attendance from those who have more recently taken up the habit, and this year's edition could be very competitive. Either way, anyone looking for a challenge is welcome. Please show us all up.

The race is put on by the Georgetown Runners, an established local club. This is the 26th edition of the run. A charitable donation goes to Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills. There is also a 1 mile fun run.
Registration before Nov. 24th is $35, then it is $40, and $45 on race day. There is a warmish heated building provided, soup and Egg Nog are served afterwards. Here is the race pamphlet.

Please register here.

A carpool can be worked out. Please tell me where you live and we may arrange pickups.
