​​Aug 25:  Yesterday we held our Annual General Meeting in Burgoyne Woods. The meeting followed a "Guess Your Time" run. (Due to the number of people in the park, the course had to be hastily redesigned by Lisa and Stuart, who were up to the challenge!)  Congratulations to the three closest guessers, Trevor, Paul and Mark!  A highlight of every AGM is the announcement of the  President's Award for an outstanding contribution to the operation of the club in the past year.
The winner this year, for her amazing social media work tirelessly promoting our club, its events and races is Emily Vancise!
The meeting was followed by a social gathering organized superbly by Carla, Lisa and the Social Committee.

May 11: This morning we had our first ever Saturday run with the "Brew Crew" run club from Counterpart Brewing in Niagara Falls. Our club had over a dozen runners/walkers amongst a total of 40 plus. We enjoyed a route on the parkway as far as 8km for many runners. We are very grateful to Jamie Burdon and the Brew Crew organizers for inviting us out today! And a shout out to Counterpart for opening early and giving all of us a generous gift in our swag bag!

May 5:  Today we had several intrepid runners racing in two different locations. Six ladies were running the Ranney Gorge 10.55k in Campbellford, Ontario.  We also had our "International Team" racing a very tough 43km trail route in the Waterville Trail Running Festival in Ireland!  Please see  News and Photos  for some great pictures from these two events.

​April 21:  This morning the trail apes and friends worked at cleaning up a section of the Bruce Trail at the Woodend Conservation area, in recognition of Earth Day.  They then enjoyed a run or walk and finished with a post work and workout social gathering at the Niagara College Teaching Brewery.  As many of you know, our Niagara Ultra race generates significant financial support each year to maintaining the beauty and condition of the Bruce Trail, and today's event just endorses our commitment to the environment. 

April 11 update:  The 2024 Hekkla is coming up soon.  The Hekkla at Rosseau Lake College is a tradition that dates back to the school's establishment in 1967. It is a significant event that symbolizes personal challenge and celebrates the spirit of the school community.  The distance is an 18k run or 28k ride.  Proceeds from the event, as well as donations around the event, are used to develop and maintain the Robert Carreau Memorial Trail on the RLC campus. For those of you who do not know, Robert was the brother of our club member and friend, Jessica  Carreau. Rob was tragically struck and killed by a drunk driver while running in November 2020.
Participation in this event can be in person or virtual. The Hekklette is a shorter 5k version of the run.
You are all invited to register on Race Roster and run or walk the Hekklette (or a longer version if you choose) with us from Cat's Caboose on Wednesday, April 24.

Here is the registration link and more details.
April 3:  Tonight we presented a cheque for $3,830  to Gillian's Place.  The cheque was accepted by Amanda Ross, the Donor and Volunteer Relations Coordinator.  We want to once again express our thanks to all the Valentine's 5k race participants, volunteers, sponsors  and to our two Race Directors, Rob Llord and Don Stoakley, who all helped to make this race such a successful event, and one which continues to provide a very valuable contribution to such an important local cause.  
The funds will be used to assist with providing effective intervention and preventative gender based violence work. 

March 24:  Well done to our "Around the Bay" runners!  In the (extra long) 34k Juan Sebastian Pulido, Kyle Ellsworth and Tony Pisano all ran.
