I reviewed this race and the Whistler and Buntzen Lake races here: http://everythingbutweddings.ca/2016/11/race-recap-5-peaks-whistler/

Package Pickup:
I've always picked up my race package on the morning of. As long as you get there early there really isn't an issue. I believe this race gave away collapsible cups as swag. I think they're great... I love that they are very conscious about the environment.

Although I found it less technical than the Seymour race, I still found it challenging. There was a long downhill with lots of loose rocks which I was really unsure of but obviously I managed to get down :P I guess that's just my inexperience talking. I'd definitely do this again though.

Unfortunately it was really foggy when we ran so not much scenery was visible but without the fog, I'm sure it's breathtaking.
