Trail running and other adventures.
Howe Sound Crest Trail (to the Lions)
The Howe Sound Crest Trail (HSCT) is a gorgeous route just outside of Vancouver, BC. I had a day off work to do a long run so did a portion of it, turning around just after The Lions to make it back in time for daycare pickup duties. Also added on a little detour up Christmas Gully to the top of Cypress Ski area.

A classic 100 mile trail run in Washington's Cascade Mountains. The race started well but ended up not going entirely according to plan, with hot weather causing challenges.

A classic North Vancouver route with waterfalls, creek crossings, boulder fields, exposed summits and wildflowers. I used it as my last training run on a hot July day before Cascade Crest 100miler a week and a half later.

Four beautiful 25mile loops on Orcas Island. We were lucky to get fantastic weather - unusual for this February race.
West Highland Way - September 2023
Переглядів 1 тис.Рік тому
Running the West Highland Way, Scotland's oldest long-distance trail. Traveling 159km from Milngavie near to Glasgow, past the lochs and through the glens of the Scottish Highlands to Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis. It is most commonly hiked in seven days. I was aiming to run it in one, though jet lag and an upset stomach due to travelling from Vancouver the day before made for a very lo...
Whistler Alpine Meadows (WAM) 100 miles - 2022
Переглядів 650Рік тому
Running WAM100miles. 9-10 September 2022. A tough 100mile trail run with a strong focus on vert in Whistler, BC. Also my first 100miler. 2022 ended up being the final edition of WAM due to permitting issues.
Congratulations on your strong finish, and great video for capturing your amazing adventure. Hope to see you on the trails again soon!
@@takaos1 thanks so much for the nice comment. Happy trails!
Congratulations! CCC100 is a tough course, especially in the heat! The views from Thorp make it worth (imo)
Thanks! Absolutely - lots of beautiful spots on this one.
great video! TY
@@GhengisDhad thanks so much!
This is absolutely an incredible physical endurance and mental toughness. I am watching all WAM videos as I am trying to decide if I want to do it this year as it is under the UTMB now and that doesn't sit well with me. The music choice is perfect
@@hajaraldouri5806 thanks so much for the nice words. The UTMB race that is in Whistler now is not WAM. There was some apparent funny business, probably mostly on Vail resorts side, which pushed out the local race director (Gary Robbins) forcing the event to be cancelled. They had been building the WAM weekend for years. After the cancelation, UTMB swiftly announced they were doing a race in the area on the same historical weekend WAM had and with it getting approved and planned in record time. This particular UTMB race in Whistler is probably one of the most controversial UTMB races anywhere in the world because of how it all went down. It won’t be getting much love from the local trail community. It is such a shame as the trails in Whistler are amazing and are crying out to be raced on.
@@patrickhaunschmidt oh yes I have been reading all about it and trying to make sense of what has gone down but it seems that it was a numbers business. It is very unfortunate and that’s why I am very hesitant on signing up for it even though it looks like a stunning place to run. I am also trying to qualify for the UTMB World Series 25’ and that in itself has become a total monopoly by the UTMB. I might have to run the Kodiak in Big Bear instead. Hope UTMB consider restructuring their organisation to fit in within the sport’s morales. Anyhow, happy for you to have caught the race in its final run, keep up the great work and the videos!
@@hajaraldouri5806 best of luck for getting to UTMB 2025. Watching the 2024 events this week have been very inspiring.
@@patrickhaunschmidt have you ever participated or considered participating in the UTMB World Series? I did in 2023 and it was an amazing experience. That’s why I’d love to go back.
@@hajaraldouri5806 I would - the event in Chamonix look amazing. And of course you have to qualify. I personally don’t think I’d run the Whistler event given the history here and how it’s so close to home and impacted the community here, but I don’t judge others who do so. Whistler is an amazing place to run.
Beautiful scenery and gnarly trails!
Absolutely. Even in the rain. One of my favourite trails and so close to a major city - always feel lucky to live in Vancouver.
Great video, thanks for documenting your adventure.
@@Mattbarentsen thanks very much!
I did a similar route before FD a couple weeks ago, tough route
@@derekrstevenson nice. Fat dog looked extra tough this year with the varied weather.
Awesome job on a hot day! I think that’s the most I’ve seen of that course, the view on that last climb is stunning
Thanks so much. It is certainly a beautiful course.
I deeply appreciate your ability to remain calm and work through the discomfort and uncertainty. Such a reflection of life. Well done, my friend.
Thanks, I really appreciate that. So much depends on the mindset you choose to adopt.
Sick hat ! What race was harder ?
Thanks! I’m always buying hats at the merch table! I wore both a FatDog120 and WAM100 hat in this race. I’d say both of those were technically harder - FatDog has an extra 20miles and a good amount more elevation. WAM had a whole lot more elevation. But I struggled with a longer low at Cascade Crest. But that’s why we sign up for these things - for the challange.
New subscriber here! Such a beautiful course and very inspiring for my up-and-coming and first 100 miler (UTE 100). Thank you for sharing this with us and congratulations on a solid finish!
Thanks! Best of luck for UTE. Looks like an awesome course
Nice work with this video and the run! I finished just over an hour behind you and sure struggled in the heat too! Congrats
@@evanstcyr5558 thanks so much. Congrats on your finish. It was a tough one.
Nice job!
Thanks! Beautiful and tough course!
My depest respect for running the WHW End of August, Beginning of September 2023. I hiked the WHW by myself, but had 10 days.
Thanks. I must have done this not long after you finished. Missed each other by just a few days.
@@patrickhaunschmidt Yes, I arrived 5th of September in Ford Williams
Congratulations on your strong race! I was one the safety sweepers you ran into in the beginning of the race and was volunteering at Moran.
Thanks so much! And thanks for volunteering - the volunteers really made it such a special event. It was fun to see you with that huge pile of flagging on the course.
Great job! Thanks for being so polite when you looped me.
Thanks for the message Rene. Congrats on your finish! One thing I love about long ultras is that we’re all in it together with the shared goal of beating the course.
Congrats! I’m hoping to be part of the 2024 crew, Thankyou for a fantastic video! ❤
Thanks so much. Best of luck for 2024!
Well done mate, a good effort. I ran the way last year over 8 days averaged 12 miles a day, took it easy as I'm getting on a bit. Hope to do it again next year in 4 days no pressure, no records to break, just trail running, joy, joy.
Thanks! You are so right - so much fun to get out there. Good luck for next year!
@@patrickhaunschmidt Thanks Pat.
Well done a great achievement and an excellent film of parts of the route too. I hope you have now recovered, if I do the West Highland Way, it will have to be a walk not a run and it will definitely take me a bit longer to complete. All the best, regards, Chris. 🍻👍👍👍
Thanks so much Chris. Lots of the video was in the dark so I definitely didn’t show some of the best parts of the route which you’d enjoy if you get to walk it someday. Thanks again!
Nice job on the video, very well done! Congrats on a great run!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Epic Achievement! :D
Congrats! Probably the best FD video I’ve seen so far
Thanks so much!
I agree. very well doc. I will be watching at least 10X before Aug. LOL
Thanks for sharing Patrick! What an amazing journey! Congratulations again!!
Thanks Catherine! Hope you didn’t mind making a guest appearance in the video at the river! It was great to see you out there.
Saw you and the gang on the vid.
lol my 5sec of fame!
So beautiful man! Thank you
