Walks - Saturday Sept. 5, 2020

A few of the participants trying to set a World's Record 
We didn't

Last week, several of us took part in world-wide virtual race. We chose the 5 km option. A good time was had by all but unfortunately there weren't enough participants, world wide, to set a record. Maybe next time....

Interested in joining us for the walk this weekend? We are still walking in small groups of 2-4 and some larger groups of up to 10. Loblaws is a good meeting point, at 8:00 am, plus there are other options.  Use the blog comment section to let others know where you are starting from and the time you plan to start.

Need some inspiration to get out this fall? Trish and Helen have a few race suggestions:

One is the 4-person relay version of the Scotia full marathon. Each leg is 10.5K and we have till the end of October to do it. 

Each member of the team gets a medal and the 4 fit together in a cool way. Have a look at the link. Maybe we can whip up a few relay teams? There’s a fairly low team price for registration. Here’s the info:

The other is the 8K Juno Beach 75th anniversary race. Unique medal — think Alfie Shrubb on steroids. This one needs to be done by Nov. 28. Lots of time.

Things to keep us active this fall. 

Remember to let Libby know if you are signing up for these or other races.

Hi All, I'll be walking in a small group from the Brickworks on Saturday morning. Have signed up for the Scotiabank Marathon Relay, and the Juno 8k; hope others will join in the 'fun'! ;-)
