Daylight Savings Time Ends Darkness!
The Beginning
The clocks have shifted and we now have more daylight in the evening. That hour of lost sleep is eventually forgotten and we bask in the glow of a starting circle in the light.
OPP and Lazy Cummer volunteered to set trail. A good turn out for a run in the Marda Loop neighbourhood was anticipating an interesting run.
The group assembled inside the Marda Loop Brewing Company, and were called out to form a circle in the back parking lot.
PMS lead the circle as the group got organized.
PMS went through the announcement and introductions, then called the hares to the circle to explain the marks for the trail.
With the marks described, the pack was released to find the trail.
The Trail
A few false trails were discovered as the pack got their bearings and found the true trail marks. Through the neighbourhood of Marda Loop and the mud and moisture from the recent snow, the trail revealed itself.
The scribe was in the walkers group due to skiing over exertion. The walkers had a fine time exploring the development and construction occurring in the this part of town!
My inside sources suggest that the runners had a fun time finding the trail, and playing in any parks they could find.
The walkers were able to find the regroup in the parking lot of the brewery. Apparently, the runners had a significant amount of trail to run, and were delayed in arriving for refreshments.
Eventually, once darkness had fallen, the balance of the group appeared to regale us with their conquest of the epically long trail. This shot is indicative of the level of darkness when the balance of the pack arrived.
The group gathered on the patio of the Marda Loop Brewing Company to order beer and food prior to the down down’s.
Eventually, Booty Camp was ready for the down down ceremonies.
The Down Down’s
Religious Advisor Booty Camp took control of the down downs and appointed a choir of Roaring Nancy.
Booty Camp thanked the hares for setting trail and then proceeded to come forward with a series of lies, accusations and crimes committed during the run.
With the down down’s done, the group engaged in the chatting and socializing until it was time to leave.

Trail Summary
Some say this trail was 9 km when all done. Not sure how the sidewalk marks made it through the surprise snowfall.
The walkers were more straightforward with a big loop of close to 4 km.
