2012 “First Half” Half Marathon – Results, Photos and Video

Great VFAC representation at the “First Half” Half Marathon,  put on annually by Pacific Road Runners running club. The official results can be found here. Illustrious club member Rick Horne wrote a little blurb, took some pictures, took some video, and put together a tidy list of significant club member achievements in the race.   Nicely done Rick. Rick writes: On February 12th, the Pacific Road Runners hosted the 23rd “First Half” Half Marathon in Vancouver, BC.  As a member of VFAC (Vancouver Falcons Athletic Club) I could not help but be inspired by the great performanaces of the “Blue Team”.  In many cases personal bests were set, age group categories won, age group records set.  In other cases members persevered through the proverbial “hard day” or muscle cramps.  Whatever their personal result, all of the runners were winners and were supported on the course by our Coach John Hill and by many other VFAC members who weren’t running that day. 39 raced and 19 set new personal bests!
