Totem to Totem Marathon
|
Skidegate, BC
|
|
The course is a flat and simple out and back route. It starts at the newly developed Haida Heritage Centre at Kaay Llnagaay, at Second Beach, in Skidegate, in front of the six totems representing six of the southern villages of the Haida people. Specifically, the start line is in front of the Skidegate pole. From there it is a few feet out of the driveway to Highway 16. A right hand turn onto the highway, you head north along the scenic shore line of the Haida lands. With eagles nesting over head and the ravens along the road and the waters to your right you head to the main village of Skidegate, just under two kilometres north from Second Beach. The course then turns off the highway and travels along Front Street past the Community Hall, the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program longhouse with the first modern totem pole, carved by Bill Reid, raised in 1978, standing out front. Further along Front Street the course makes it way past the cemetery and rounds back up to Highway 16. The course makes a light right turn back onto the highway travelling north past the carving shed and the original canoe house built for protection of the Lootaas, the Haida war canoe. The road continues to be flat as the run passes the famous Balance Rock at near 5 kilometres. The course then continues effortlessly along the shore line with views of water, beach and trees over the Chinukundl Creek and Miller Creek, and past Dead Tree point, all the way to the small community called Lawnhill, a name that came from either lone hill or long hill but no one quite remembers. Over a small hill on the point and the course comes to the half way point at Saint Mary?s Spring. A site named by Annie Richardson of Tlell in about 1920, it is said that if you drink of these waters you will forever return. This is the turn around point. The course returns the same way back to the totem poles at the Haida Heritage Centre at Kaay Llnagaay.
