A message from Canada Running Series Race Director Alan Brookes:
Hello fellow runners;
As 2015 fades into our log books, 2016 is coming up fast! Canada Running Series is ALMOST done – bar the wrap up! WHAT a year it was! In addition to 8 great Series races, we also had the Pan Am Games to organize and enjoy. A massive THANK YOU to all of you for the important part you played in an outstanding year. Almost 60,000 participants; more than 5,000 volunteers; 19 fabulous sponsors; tens of thousands of spectators and cheer squads; and a whopping $6 million raised for our 339 Official Charities. So many great stories, and reasons to cheer. Beyond EPIC!
Although there’s still a lot of tidy-up activity happening at the CRS offices – paying bills and prize monies, mailing out unclaimed awards, writing 2015 reports for our sponsor partners, we’re also full swing into 2016 – designing next year’s medals and t-shirts, fun new activations and more.
Are you ready?
We have some VERY exciting stuff in the works, including a new race. What will it be called? When will it be held? Where will it run?
Because of these tasty updates, we’ll be LAUNCHING online registration tomorrow for the following Individual Races:
- Banque Scotia 21K et 5K de Montreal: Sunday April 24th 2016.
- Oasis ZooRun, 10k, 5K & Cub Run: Saturday September 24th 2016.
- Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, Half-marathon & 5K: Sunday October 16th 2016.
COMBO PACKS, with multi-event discounts, for our full Eastern Calendar [including Toronto Spring races] will be coming SOON. We’ll have that up and available as soon as we have finalized our plans – and you’ll be among the first to know! ‘Til then, let’s keep running, keep in touch, and get planning for new goals, and thrilling new adventures together in 2016.
Alan, @alnbrookes
