ATB race course


I was talking with Hamilton Running Room friend two days ago. She was telling me how they have been practicing by running the front portion of the course. In all her running this section of streets that runs through industrial Hamilton (Copps Colliseum to almost the Lift Bridge) the locals are always quite enthusiastic to share their feelings with the Running Room glan. I guess its their way of offering their hospitality & words of encourage. I think that's what makes people from Hamilton so darn tough. Around the Bay when you sit back & analyse the neighbourhoods you actually run through, is in itself, unique. You go from Steeltown Hamilton to the cusp of Lake Ontario, to the "Rodedale drive" of Burlington. Running along Northshore Blvd.is beautiful. Gorgeous homes with Landrovers parked in their drive as Executive wives sip their baileys & coffee and applaud the runners as they go by.
A popular race. No wonder it sells out so quickly these days.
