"There have been a few discussions about the future of the event, but it's in the early stages," said Clark. "Whether the cap is going to be increased in 2013 is yet to be determined, or whether we'll add alternate distances as well so a wider range of runners can participate."

Road Closures in effect

Whistler residents and visitors should be aware that there are a few road closures and delays in effect during the run:

• Highway 99 at Lorimer Road will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to 7:50 a.m. and the west section of Lorimer will be closed to westbound traffic from 7:30 a.m. to 8 a.m.;

• Crabapple Drive and Beaver Lane will be closed to southbound traffic from 7:30 a.m. to 8 a.m.;

• There will be temporary delays along the entire route. People should also be aware that the Valley Trail will be busy, and in some sections the runners will be in both lanes. The section of Valley Trail from Lorimer to Rainbow Park will be extremely busy from about 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and people are advised to take the alternate route along Alta Lake Road.
