This one is definitely on my radar- I would like to do one more race (hopefully a GOOD one) in 2011. It'll depend on... how much pinot noir and eggnog are consumed the day before I guess.

[Cupcake Girl]

Registered.

[fingerboy]

I'm really interested - will have to see how this plays out.

If I decide to run this 10 Miler it would be my 6th year in a row with the Boxing Day. It might be my last run of the year 'cause I'm not running the Egg Nog Jog. Probably never will in the future (Egg Nog)....I don't like races with caps .....sounds like a dictatorship.

that's always been my excuse. not sure i can run 16k after all that eating and drinking the day before. not too sure it would be fun for the people behind me either

I just noticed in the registration list that Wesley a.k.a. Casualrunner is already registered .....

[Ken B]

I will be there for the fourth straight year!!! Along with Around the Bay, my favourite two Ontario events!!

In person registration went smoothly, it is always great to get runners feedback, and to meet the people who are going to enter for the first time. Now over 520 entrants and planning for 1,000 by Boxing Day.

see you on race day,

James

I had put it on my maybe list, since thatbtime of year is pretty quiet for me. However my hamstring is acting up and I have not run much in the last 3 weeks I am getting my workouts on the stationary bike right now. I will play it by (r)ear.

Online Registration closes December 20th at midnight.

If you are still thinking about joining the 1,000 other 10 milers, we do have race day registration.

oh man, i missed you too, ken! i was on the first hill (coming up longwood from the waterfront path, right before the photographer) from the time the lead runner went by until the sweep car. hopefully you heard the cowbell, despite missing some maniacs.

lots of folks out there today, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. this is one of my favourite races!
