Agreed. You get to witness greatness. This year, for example, the triple amputee Bryan Cuerrier was taking part in the 1/2 marathon, which was truly inspirational. One thing to note, this event is not only for the CAF personnel. It is open to anyone. It's called the Army Run because it's in support of the Canadian military. It's a very popular event now, so it's recommended to register months in advance.
