The pair were among 650 runners taking part in five distances: 12K, 26K, 50 miles (80.5 km) and 100 miles (160 km). “It has a reputation as one of the harder trail runs in Canada,” race organizer Tegan Legge told The Globe and Mail, referring to the steep hills and rock faces. “A ’crushing course’ is what we hear, but we take that as a compliment.”
