With the dawn of 2018 and new fitness resolutions set, a pair of longtime road runners say British Columbians should consider distance running as a way to get in shape after the holidays. And with more than 100 races of varying distances being held in B.C., there is a marathon-long list of events to choose from. Stebner is a long-distance runner who started with a dare to run the Manitoba Marathon in Winnipeg in 1979. She says anyone who wants to hit the road but is intimidated should remember to start slowly. Stebner agrees anyone who wants to run a long race should start with shorter races and then work up to longer ones.
