The countdown is on to Knee Knacker 2010 lottery deadline! Just 3 weeks to go now… with 166 entrants so far, we are ahead of last year’s pace of 152 at this time. Check out http://www.kneeknacker.com/registration/ for instructions on how to register, and http://www.eventsonline.ca/events/kknstr/confirm.htm for confirmed entries (online only at this time)!
Holy cow! It’s only January and some volunteer areas are filled up already! Last year’s organized and hyper-efficient Banquet team is back again. And Karen Chow, taking on the race’s newest volunteer position of Photography Captain, has already snared a crew worthy of Sports Illustrated’s best (no pressure!). If you’re interested in helping, check the Volunteer page to see what’s open and email our Volunteer Coordinator Bonnie (using our contact form).

Happy New Year, fellow Knee Knackerers!
It’s also the start of a new decade, and time for the Knee Knacker race to join the mad rush to Twitter that started last decade. You’ll notice the new “Follow Us” button in the right sidebar of every page, which will take you to http://twitter.com/kneeknacker. Initially, we’ll use this to send out quick reminders for things like entry deadline, lottery night, training runs, and trail maintenance. Thanks to Sean Lavin for the idea.
Hello fellow trail runners! Happy Holidays to all. Planning is already underway for the 22nd Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run, and we’ll start more regular communications in the New Year. It will be an exciting couple of months with the 2010 Winter Olympics in our back yard!
A big thank you to our 2009 Committee members who are moving on this year and have been integral to our committee and the success of the race – Craig Moore, Jurgen Watts, and Ethelyn David. Thank you ! A special mention also goes to Bill Dagg who has managed the website for a number of years. read more…
It is with sadness that we recognize the passing of Susan Giuffre on Tuesday, September 15. Susan was a part of the Knee Knacker community, having completed the run 6 times – most recently in 2008 . Our thoughts go to Susan’s husband Joseph, her family and friends.
