Here are some events you might be interested in...
The 17th annual Harvest Run is set for Sunday, September 7, at 9:00 a.m. Be sure to register early to ensure that you get a tee shirt (early registration is easier on the Committee's collective blood pressure, too!) See the Harvest Run web page for details.
Our Recreation Runs or "Rec Runs" start from the Red Deer Recreation Centre (downtown pool) at 9:00 a.m. Saturdays. Distances and routes will vary, but they're typically between 8 and 12 kilometres; after the run we have a debriefing session at City Roast. Our Wednesday runs start from The Runner's Den at 6:00 p.m.
Note: On the last Saturday of the month we will run the trails at Riverbend Golf Course, then have coffee and/or breakfast there. Once the golf course closes for the season we'll be back at the Red Deer Arena.
After this year's Marathon, some of the long-standing members of the Marathon Committee will be retiring from their positions. Here's an open letter from the committee chair, a description of the open positions, and a list of committee members from 2008.
Please consider contributing your talents to help organise a first-class event! Click here to go to the Marathon Web site, or send an e-mail to the Red Deer Runners Webmaster (I'll forward it to the appropriate person).
Thank you from the Marathon Committee!
