While the Bagel Chase may have a tenuous connection to Friday Five, I’m going with this topic because a) the Bagel Chase was a 5 kilometre loop and b) the Bagel Chase was awesome in at least 5 different ways! Debra – adventurous as always (and to be credited for photos …

Friday Five: Favourite Running Routes

Bradley on the Run February 18, 2016 February 18, 2016 Friday Five / My Story itemprop="discussionURL"13 Comments

We are a very spoiled bunch living in Vancouver. Hot, dry summers; rainy but warm winters; early springs. Although the wet runs can get a bit emotionally trying, we don’t suffer from the sub-zero temperatures experienced across most of Canada and much of the US. Before I started running, I …

However, since becoming a BibRave Pro in 2015, I’ve been rewarded with the opportunity to experiment with running-related …
