“Hi. My name is Marguerite Masson. I have been running since my kids were small – about 45 years ago !!
I started running by pushing an English pram around a fairly large block in Merville. With the encouragement of John Crouch and Bent Harder, I joined CVRR and raced my first race on Denman Island- probably walking 1/2 of it.
I persevered and grew to love running – road for many years – short and long. I ran about 35 marathons and 3 ultras. I loved the relays!
Switched over to trail maybe 20 years ago and have stuck with that.
I think my favourite part is just being outside, usually in the woods, and training. I much prefer the training to the racing!! I plan to continue for a long time. Marguerite

Marguerite! You are so modest. You forgot to mention how awesomely fast you were on those races. 😂
Hi Darren. John is going to ask you for a bio. Please send me your email address. Cumby@cvrr.ca.

I sent a bio many days ago to the “social” email. Maybe I said something “controversial”? 😂
