Fall Training Programs

Congratulations to all of you who signed up last night for our upcoming programs. You've now done the hardest part and the rest of the training will be easy (if not easy, at least fun!).

If you couldn't make it last night, it's still not too late to join. You can email us for details and we will be happy to have you join us. You can also click here for details.

Those of you who have signed up should have received your questionnaire to be filled out. Please fill them out as soon as possible to allow us to personalize your training plans before we start next week. This is a crucial part of your program and helps us customize the program based on your abilities and goals.

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact myself or Ken and we will be happy to answer your questions (at least about your training).

Pub Run TONITE!

Don't forget to come out tonight for the Pickering Pub Run to celebrate a great season and to launch the fall season which looks to be even bigger and better than ever.

Festivities start at 7pm at the Bear and Firkin at Kingston Road and Valley Farm Road and we will be heading (slowly) to the Fox and Fiddle Mansion at Kingston and Liverpool and finally to the Bull and Finch at Dixie and Finch. We will all be sticking together so don't worry about having to run alone.

If you cannot make the actual run, why not come out and meet us at the Bull and Finch and catch up with all your old friends and maybe make some new ones.

Don't forget the whole event is FREE (you will have to buy your own refreshment though) and there will be prizes for some rather strange things including best costume.

All the details are available here.

I can't wait to hear all the war stories about how you all Ran over the toad! Maybe we should do some clinics with only trail races in mind! I will think about it. Maybe Girlie can lead us in that one! Way to go Champs!

I would love to see some more pictures from the race if anyone has any.

SOCIAL EVENT - Pickering Pub Run

This one is going to be fun!

Our first ever Pickering Pub Run will be held on Friday October 7th to celebrate an excellent season and just for an excuse to hit some pubs.

The format will be a tour rather than a race. We will all run together and drink together.

The tour will start at 7pm at the Bear and Firkin at Valley Farm Road and Kingston Road. Once everyone has finished their drinks we will head to the Fox and Fiddle Mansion at Liverpool and Kingston Road and then run up to the Bull and Finch at Dixie and Finch where we will end the running and continue the celebration.

This run will be open to everyone, not just current Hit The Road members so please invite all you friends, family and/or drinking buddies.

Prizes will be given out for best costume plus anything else we decide to give out prizes for...

Please remember to organize a taxi or designated driver for your trip home.
