What They Said

"Thank you so very much for a challenging but fulfilling event. The 17 km of continuous wild flower-strewn Manning Park alpine meadows with good views of the North Cascade mountains (even glacier-hung 10,000 ft. Mt. Baker), practically being able to reach out and touch those very same peaks many hours later, and the terrific aid stations and finish line station all made the run very memorable. Having spent many many hours running and marking routes in the Cathedrals area for races 10-15 years ago, I am so impressed that you even considered putting on this point-to-point route in such a remote and inaccessible area. And likewise, the crews in packing all the aid to their remote locations--a huge logistical challenge. Every volunteer I met was very friendly, upbeat, compassionate, and dedicated."

"I am a Fat Dog! You and your crew put on a helluva great event! Tough? Absolutely, but ultra runners don't do this because they want something easy. Looking forward to next year! I want you to know how much I appreciate all the hard work that you and your amazing volunteers did! Congratulations."

"Wow, what a fantastic race. The course was absolutely stunning. The high alpine meadows, flowers, and views were mind blowing. You truly have created a monster of an event that will challenge even the most hard core ultra runners."

"Fat Dog could be a qualifier for Hardrock. Challenging finish is an understatement, but I survived!"

UBC Testing

 
 

UBC Research

Fat Dog 100 Trail Race Research Study
Cognitive and Functional Learning Laboratory & Cardiovascular Rehabilitation and Physiology Laboratory, Physical Activity Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Unit University of British Columbia.

Runners and Pacers competing in the FatDog 100 Trail Race who will complete a distance of at least 50 km are invited to participate in this innovative research study. This investigation is examining the effects of prolonged ultra-endurance exercise your ability to process information (i.e., cognitive function). All testing will be non-invasive involving completing various computer tasks. Pre and post race measurements will involve a maximum time commitment of 30 minutes each. The benefits of participating in this research study include: a personalized cognitive assessment, a research t-shirt, entrance into a draw for a Polar Heart Rate monitor, a free assessment of maximal aerobic power (VO2max) at the University of British Columbia.

Your confidentiality will be respected. No information disclosing your identity will be released or published without your specific consent to the disclosure. Participants will be free to withdraw from the study at any time without penalty.

Our research team have been involved in ultra-endurance research for several years. Our team has participated in FatDog 100 2010, the Western States Endurance Run (WS 100) from 2007-2009, and the Race Across America (RAAM). We have published many key articles in leading journals around the world.

If you are interested in participating or would like further information regarding this research study, please contact Carley Kennedy at: kennedy.r.carley@gmail.com or 604-822-1337.
