Run
Club Update |
Hi there!
Some exciting news for the store - we have been restocked
with both the Garmin 405 and the NIKE sportband! These
are sure to move very fast, so get yours quick! These
are both great tools to monitor your speed and distance
this summer. Best of all, they are both able to replace
your normal wristwatch - this can be your way of letting
acquaintances know that they are dealing with a walker
or runner .
Our new round of clinics
have started! We had a great first
night for both the 5k and Learn to Run on Monday.
We have the 10k clinic starting on Thursday (June
5th at 6 pm) and our For Women only (learn to run
program) start on Friday June 6th, also at 6 pm. Clinics
are a great way to achieve your running and walking
goals, meet like-minded people and HAVE FUN!
If you are not able to make it out for this first
week...DON'T WORRY! You can register for these clinics
anytime before the third week.
Our big event for this
week is THE POKER RUN!!!
WHEN: Normal practice time - Sunday
morning at 8:30 am.
WHERE: The Sudbury Running Room
- 1984 Regent street.
WHAT: Two events will be held -
a 5k and a 10k distance. The 5k will be an out and
back along Loaches road/path. The 10k will be a loop
around the University campus. Runners and walkers
will pick up 5 normal playing cards along the way
(handed to you by our volunteers) - the last of which
you will get as you cross the finish line. The runner/walker
with the best poker hand at the end wins!
MOST IMPORTANT: potluck afterwards!
While we are finding the best poker hands - you can
enjoy some tasty treats.
DON'T FORGET - we have practice this (and every)
Wednesday at 6 pm and Sunday morning at 8:30 am. See
you there!
Happy trails,
from your Running Room crew

North News - by Dick

LU Track to be
Rebuilt - Announcement
Just a quick update and some great news!
The Laurentian University has announced the re-build
of
the outdoor 400m track. The funding for the new track
and field
should start this summer and will be completed either
this summer, or
next, depending on the weather.
This isn't just a resurfacing. Phase one of the project,
which starts
this summer, will involve a complete excavation and re-build
of the
track and include a new infield. Phase 2 of the project
will involve
renovating the stadium, and new equipment, including electronic
scoreboards, lighting etc.
The new indoor track is coming along. They are just insulating
the
outdoor walls and will be applying the outside facade
fairly soon.
Projected completion time is this September.
So, within two years at the latest, you'll have two new
tracks (an
indoor and outdoor) on Laurentian's campus to train on!
The announcement for the track is at this link:

P.S. In case you weren't aware, the Laurentian track
was the host of
the 1988 World Junior Track and Field Championships, and
has also
hosted the Pan-Am Juniors, four OFSAA Championships, the
National
Legion championships. Laurentian's track was also the
training site for
the East German Olympic team before the Montreal Olympics.
