Although this is not a club event, The Niagara Falls International Marathon is closely affiliated with our Niagara Ultra and so it is well supported by both runners and volunteers from our club. Our club runners had so many great results today, including multiple "first in age" performances, or near to first. We must thank Race Directors Henri and Diane, also Charles and all the other staff and SO many volunteers, not forgetting "The Voice of NFIM" Mr. Don Stoakley! As runners, we can't thank you all enough for your time and commitment to this event! Here is the link to the results: results.raceroster.com/v2/en-CA/results/wnkxxp5j5fxjvv2w/results?subEvent= Here are the results for our recent "Head for the Hills" races: 2022_head_for_the_hills_results__1_.pdf This event is held in cooperation with BIAN (the Brain Injury Association of Niagara) and it raised $17,000 in total! Thanks to everyone who volunteered or participated and a big thanks to our new Race Director, Tony Pisano, and of course to Trianda and all the staff at BIAN who helped put on the event. On behalf of our club and BIAN we also express our gratitude to White Meadows Farm and all the other race sponsors (see the race page) and to the medical support team!
