Welcome to the 26th Edition of the New Balance Fall Classic
on November 15, 2009.
Half Marathon, 10K and 5K
Thanks to the almost 200 volunteers
and 2,500 runners who made this the Last Great Run of the
Year!
So many brave runners and walkers
defied nature’s warnings of wind and rain to find that
it wasn’t that bad after all out there!

The 700 NB hats have now been allocated to
the first 700 people who signed up.
We had a draw for everyone registered on or before October
20th, and Don Tough from Surrey won a kayaking trip with
Gabriola Sea Kayaking worth up to $850!
(see description at bottom of
page here). Congratulations Don!

End your running season on a
high note! The New Balance Fall Classic has a reputation for
accurate and pretty routes with races that start on time
where you get a great garment to remember your experience.
Afterwards you can enjoy great food, entertainment and a
nice warm dry place to relax with friends after the race.
You can even shower while you wait for the awards to begin,
which are usually on time too!
Check out some testimonials
from previous events, and decide for yourself.
Walkers Welcome!
NEW for 2009 is the inclusion of walking categories. We do
not issue timed awards for walkers, but the NBFC will be
drawing random prizes for all categories, including these 3
new walking divisions.
Charity
Participants helped us raise over $13,000 for the Heart &
Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon and for 2009, we’d all
like to see an increase in that figure. There are many
fundraising incentives available through the
Heart & Stroke
Foundation website, so please check it out and see if you
want to help us with this challenge.
Garment
Showing off the 2009 NBFC garment is Mike Eckford and Fiona
Forbes of Urban Rush.
Mike and Fiona will be our MC’s at the post-race festivities
in the SRC.
The garment this year is a sleek black tech top with
reflective side pieces. Very nice!
OR you can choose some 25th anniversary tights we have
leftover from 2008. Back in the day, the Fall Classic was
the first event in Vancouver to offer running tights with
the entry. (click here for images)
OR if you’d prefer a limited edition New Balance Fall
Classic Jacket or a Thermal Half-Zip top, then for a small
upgrade fee, you could be wearing one of those beautiful
garments. (click here for images)

Technical Souvenirs are available for pickup between November 16 to 30 at the New
Balance Delta Store (Unit 109 - 6345 120th St. (@ 64

alive and we’ll see you at the Last Great Run of the Year!
