The Canadian Mountain Running team is going to have a very solid team this year lead by Ryan Hayden who is a very talented track and road runner. Will be interesting to see how they fair at the NACAC.
Six Canadian mountain runners will head to Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico, on June 15th for the 5th NACAC mountain running championships. The Canadian Mountain and Trail Running Association (CTMRA) selected Ryan Hayden, Adam Campbell, Jason Loutitt, Olivia Yuel, Courtney Harcott and Brooke Spence to represent Canada in this 13km uphill race against top mountain runners from host Mexico, and the USA.
Ryan Hayden has the widest range of any Canadian climber. The sub-4 miler and 1:04 half marathoner was also part of the second place team in the 2007 Gore-Tex Transalpine-Run, setting a course record in the hill-sprint stage. He also represented Canada at the IAAF world cross country championships in 2004.
