I Got an Idea: The Prescott-Russell Relay
Following the success of the club's first relay event on the Prescott-Russell Trail, Coach Michelle took some time to reflect on how the relay came to be and what made the day such a success.
If you weren't there to experience the day, this post might just entice you to put in a team for next year! If you were there, click the button below to reminisce about the day and see the great photo spread from Norm Fortin.

New York Central Fitness Trail parkrun
It was a grey morning, but that didn't stop this group from participating in New York Central Fitness Trail parkrun No. 135. We were happy to welcome the return of Rebecca Greer, who, after training with her college team, set her fastest Parkrun time.
Parkrun is a free timed 5km run, walk or jog every Saturday at 9:00 AM. To register, go to https://www.parkrun.ca/register/. You only have to do it once. Remember to bring your barcode or take a screenshot of it on your phone.
What was the Russell Run Club Up To This Week?
"I decided to lift weights again to get stronger throughout the winter. The first few days were AWFUL (which just reminded me that I had not lifted weights in months... oops)
I went to a group run this morning (I'm usually a lone runner), and they made me run faster than I do by myself. Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone"
Sarah M.
"I broke the 8K wall today, thanks to Sarah and the gang for running with me. 9.2 running strong. 10K next week. I think I am finally getting the seasonal clothing thing down too"
Clair S.
