The latest edition of Get Out There Magazine is now available online and they were nice enough to let me write an article about Vancouver Island’s 47km Juan De Fuca Trail, check it out, pages 38-39. GR →

I just had to take a quick second to say that apparently there is another Gary Robbins out there who is at least somewhat involved in the endurance world. I recently received an e-mail from the co-race director of the epic bike journey that is known as The ‘Tour Divide‘, which is basically a self… →

I realize that I haven’t really ‘written’ much over the last little bit and I guess that’s cause I’ve been too busy trying to enjoy this incredible summer we’ve had here on The West Coast! Having experienced virtually no rain fall since early to mid May, B.C. was on the verge of seeing its entire… →

The Stormy 50 and 100 miler happens this weekend, and unfortunately, as is the case most years, they are desperate for volunteers to help make this race happen. Personally I’ll be stuck at work till 7pm on Friday and back in again at 9:30am on Sat, so I figure the least I can do is… →

It’s been a crazy-awesome week, yes I just said that, crazy-awesome! Starting with last Wednesday’s Sahale Peak adventure run, I was able to follow up by running the absolutely gorgeous Howe Sound Crest Trail on Sunday, then I took off to Manning Park B.C. for two fun filled days of mountain running on Tues and… →

We just had an epic lightning storm in North Van tonight. I’ve seen bigger but never in this area. It’s rare that we get anything and even as I type this it still echoes off in the distance! As long as we don’t get any back country forest fires started it will go down as… →

Got outta town today, drove South into The North Cascade Mountains of Washington and ran/scrambled to the top of Sahale Peak. It was truly a perfect day and an epic run!5100 feet of elevation gain, with a class 4-5 scramble to the summit of just under 9,000 feet. 14m / 23km return in 3h19m…and eight… →

As if I didn`t struggle enough to recover from the thrashing that was Western States, I ended up racing what I would consider to be Canada`s toughest 50k trail race just two weeks after the fact. This `double` has been pulled off by many a B.C. ultra runner, and most have fared very well with… →
