From The PEI RoadRunners:Brookvale Trail Ultra Marathon, (10K, 25K and 50K) Brookvale, P.E.I.
August 1, 2010 www.peiroadrunners.ca
Prince Edward Island is a beautiful place to visit in the summer. And what better way to vacation than by hitting a trail race? The Brookvale Trail Ultra takes place in Provincial Park and Forestry land over a 25K loop. Half of the course is singletrack trail, with the rest being run over Nordic ski trails and heritage roads. Brookvale is located in the hilliest part of P.E.I., so you get some good climbs. Most participants agreed it was the most difficult race they had run. The small-town feel and laid back approach to the race is what runners seem to embrace the most. Also, with the Department of Forestry involved in the race, each participant takes home an oak tree seedling to plant, while race winners receive a handmade cutting board. As race participant Spencer Greenwood said, “The Brookvale Ultra doesn’t have the prestige of a big time race but it’s definitely a challenging course and is the ‘friendliest little ultra’ that I’ve run.”
