Max Erler, Tim Mcdonough and I took a cab from St. John's to Topsail Beach, arriving just before 4 AM. We took a few pictures and then began running at around 4:03 AM. We enlisted my parents and our girlfriends/wives to crew us at 7 locations along the route, where we re-stocked on various foods (both gels & solid food), water, changed clothes, etc. We each used poles for ~70% the run, and we each wore hydration vests for the full run. Tim accidentally gouged his head on a tree branch at approximately kilometre 63, and subsequently his girlfriend Heather (a medical doctor) stitched his head up in Flatrock. Overall, we ran the 104.5 km route in just over 22 hours (22:05:25).
