Global TV wants your Black Spur participants enthusiastic about Kimberley race Kimberley pictures C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The best way to gauge the success of an event is to get reaction from those participating. If that’s the case, then the comments flowing into Facebook about the Black Spur Ultra, an ultra-marathon with 50 and 100 kilometre distances run on Kimberley’s trails this past weekend, indicate the weekend was a huge success. Racers loved the course, the scenery, the challenge, the atmosphere and the
excellent organization provided by Brian Gallant of Full Moon Adventure Company. Mark C. Ryan “After a long hiatus from trail running this was a great re-introduction. I ran leg 4. It was the hardest trail I’ve ever hiked. I have never had to take 40 minutes to do 2km, especially so early in a race. Brian, you are a sick and twisted genius.” Kristina Lynn Meyer “The course was stunning and all the single track makes it the most fun I have
had running 50K.” Erin Klatt “Loved all the single track, the stunning views, the challenge & the atmosphere....” Calli Stromner “Now that the haze of the weekend has cleared, I can honestly say the Black Spur Ultra is one of the most satisfying races I’ve ever done. It’s tough! It will challenge every muscle fibre in your body; it will test your mettle; it is unrelenting with the constant uphills. See RACE, page 4
