Gabby's Half-Marathon

Postby Bebette » Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:15 pm

Anybody in Toronto knows anything about this race? Apparently, you stop at five Gabby's along the course and have to drink half a pint at each stop. I heard about this race for the first time from a colleague today.
I run because it's fun.

In another life:
3 marathons including Boston twice (PB: 3:47), 6 halfs (PB: 1:45), 6 10k (PB: 46:41) and 3 5ks (PB: 21:00)

Sounds like my kind of run. A Google search turned up a Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juCE-OL6z_M
Judging by the time stamp and the background, this looks like early fall.

Looks like one of the long-time instructors from the Yonge St Running Room Half Clinic in the pictures on the video -- maybe it was spin-off of a clinic group?
