The Calgary Police Half Marathon is April 26, and registration is still available. The half-marathon is $60 and you have to register in person at the Tech Shop. About 50 in person spots are available. If you miss out, wait until the week before the event as people start bailing.
Pick up the January/February issue of Canadian Running magazine for a couple pages on the Powderface 42 (registration opens January 18). Gord Hobbins of Gord's Running Store is interviewed for the Winter Running Guide story. There are some good book reviews, and an interview with the director of Saint Ralph. If you haven't, get a subscription to keep that magazine viable.
The Calgary Women's Race is looking for a new race director. You would get some assistance from the Calgary Roadrunners Club, so you wouldn't be entirely on your own. You could co-direct with someone else. Contact the CRR for more details.
Cochrane's race weekend in June, aka Footstock, has opted out of the full marathon for 2009. Their longest distance will now be the half marathon, which is run mostly on the shale pathways near the Bwo River. The small-town hospitality is great, and the 50 people who ran the marathon will still enjoy the shorter distance.
