I hereby lay claim to:
1. Being the first to post a record for Canada in this forum.
2. Being the first to run the Sunshine Coast Trail non-stop
The Sunshine Coast Trail is in British Columbia in and around the city of Powell River. It is a spectacular 180km trail that goes from Sarah Point in the north to Saltery Bay in the south.
With 3 friends, I have attempted to run the trail twice (2003, 2004). While we all got our asses kicked both times, I did manage to complete the distance on the second attempt in 2004 in a time of 43 hours 50 minutes.
A very complete description of the course, some awesome photos and other details of our little record-breaking attempt can be found at:

I've not seen it yet, but a film was made that is supposed to be quite entertaining. You can see the trailer at:

The trail is very special. Each year in April, the people who maintain the trail host a 30K run/hike on a section of the trail. Highly recommended way to meet locals if you plan to run the whole enchillada:

180K is a long way to run, but I strongly believe that anyone who can run 100-miles in under 24 hours can beat my record. Furthermore, it would give me great pleasure to help you do it. You can contact me via the form at www.clubfatass.com/events/STC/contact
Happy trails!
