2011 YYZ Pearson Runway Run
 
Registration has just opened for the 2011 Pearson Runway Run! (& Walk)

Come wander up and down runway 24L! (the lower-right runway at this map: http://goo.gl/maps/AvGy)

5km run or 2km walk, with 24R remaining active right beside you. Great for spotting small-to-medium aircraft -- the big boys stay on the far runway most of the time, probably for safety reasons. :(

Highly recommended for those that love every opportunity to walk on the tarmac. It's hot and smells like jet fuel too, which can be a plus or a minus depending on your personal preferences. :)

Information: http://www.gtaa.com/en/community_rel...on/runway_run/ (still just 2010, but should be updated shortly)
Registration: http://www.events.runningroom.com/site/?raceId=6572

If you'll be there, be sure to update this thread so we can have an on-runway DO!

Why don't you make this the official runway DO for this? ;)
I would do it but I don't have the time to do fundraising!

Hubby and I are both in. Trying to figure out if we can do the YOW-YYZ flight just in time to throw running shoes on and get out there- making it a true FlyerTalk Special :)
