This morning I ran the Malden Death Race. Runners do laps on a gravel pathway in Malden Park, Windsor, ON. The path runs 280m up the biggest hill in the park, nicknamed “Big Bertha”. Runners can choose how many laps they do on the hill - 40 (half marathon), 80 (full marathon) or 120 (“ultra”). I started at 7am and chose to attempt the half marathon.

I got it done in under three and a half hours, including a mile-long diversion to find the washrooms. It was an insane amount of climbing, made enjoyable by the good-natured fatalism of the 70-ish other runners also attempting the Death Race. I did a lot of power hiking up, and a lot of giddy bombing back down. I could see attempting the full marathon next time!
