Will Fitzgerald set a new course record in 2008 in winning the 2nd annual Scotiabank Cape to Cabot 20 km in a time of 1:12:24., breaking his own record in the inaugural race last year. Caroline McIlroy also set a course record for women with her first place time of 1:23:11. Both runners were awarded the new Ian Ash Memorial Trophy.

The challenging race starts at Cape Spear and heads toward downtown St. John’s negotiating three major hill climbs and descents on the way. After a flat section along Water Street and Harbour Drive, runners are faced with the mile long ascent of Signal Hill to finish at Cabot Tower.

348 runners completed the course last year which was blessed with perfect racing conditions with sunny skies, gentle breezes, and cool temperatures. 17 Runners from outside Newfoundland and Labrador, and 36 from outside the St. John’s region registered for the race. 229 Men and 171 women registered for the race in 2008.

Overall and Age Group awards were presented following the race at a reception at MacDonald Drive Junior High which also featured a Health Expo.
