This month's trail running special issue of Canadian Running magazine features a photo of Wil Smith in the Editors section of the magazine. The Editor voted the Salomon DontGetLost.ca Raid the Hammer Adventure Run as the best trail running race he did in 2008. Nevin French arranged for the editor of the magazine to race with Wil last November. We are hopeful that this positive exposure in the Canadian running community will be good not only for the growth of our sport but also for the acceptance of orienteering as a (tough/gnarly/extreme) running sport among runners.

Also featured in this month's magazine is an article on AdventureScience.ca's search for Steve Fossett.

The right magazine.
The right race.
The right guy for Michal to run with.
In the words of Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, I love it when a plan comes together.
