4:11 finish, 3/16 place overall, 1/6 place for males. Very hilly but scenic course on Texada Island - a remote ferry-access-only island between mainland British Columbia and Vancouver Island. Sunny but not too hot and mostly shaded. Small marathon with very friendly support from locals. Hills made for slower than average time as expected, but the tiny field - 16 marathoners total - allowed for a first place finish among males and third place overall.

Welcome! This blog gives a summary of each marathon with finish time/place, course info, conditions, and links to performance data and travel photos. There are also separate pages listing marathons in different countries/continents, states, and Canadian provinces as well as general info about my running background, frequently asked questions, and advice for anyone looking to start running or exercising more. This blog is linked on my Facebook page, but I'm very rarely on social media otherwise.
