On Sunday, June 13, 2010, over 500 runners from all over tested their physical and mental limits by running on forest trail, sand and pavement at the Edge to Edge Marathon and Half Marathon in Ucluelet and Tofino, BC.
Water's Edge Resort in Ucluelet was a sponsor of the event, and was booked full of runners on race weekend - the resort is close to the starting line of the half marathon event in Ucluelet and close to the shuttle bus that takes the marathon runners up to the starting line in Tofino.
Both courses have spectacular views; a portion of the race crosses Chesterman Beach on the hard-packed sand and another portion follows the stunning Wild Pacific Trail. Read Rumon Carter's course preview report for an excellent description of the the race course.
So what was it like to run a marathon from Tofino to Ucluelet?
"Chesterman Beach was, by far, the prettiest part of the course. The tide was out a fair bit, leaving hard-packed beach to run on; it was nicer on the knees than pavement, but it was hard enough that you didn't sink," wrote marathon runner Skye Overall on her blog.
"The view was spectacular! The ocean waves, and nothing else on the horizon but ocean until it met the sky. I should have stopped to take a picture, but I didn't, and Lil had checked her camera. We both commented on how great the view was, and how it was worth doing the race just to run on the beach."
