Track Thursdays: Finishing the Season with a Roll of the Die

We like to keep things fun. Especially with the final track workout of the season at the Russell High School on Thursday. We brought out the jumbo dice from our youth program kit. We let the roll of the dice determine the workout. It ranged from a 100 m sprint to a 1200 m jog.



The Russell Run: Great Times, Great Pictures

We love it when club member Norm Fortin shows up at our events with his camera. Check out these great images from the 2022 and 2023 Russell Run. And yes, he will be back for 2024!





Thanks to Melanie Gagné for the video compilation.

Youth Run Club / Run Jump Throw: Hurdles, Trails and Chickens

With it being Thanksgiving weekend, we kept it relaxed at Saturday's Youth/Run Jump Throw Program.  The older group hit the trails at the Henry J. Tweed Conservation area for a trail run. The gang managed to get three laps in with a pit stop at that little hill from some sprints.  With the run there, the trail and back, the group got about 3.5 km in.  



While the older group got their sneakers muddy, the younger group stayed on the track for some hurdles. They learned to run through the hurdles and not jump over them. Then, they revisited the relay with a bean bag game.  



We all finished the day with a game of Steal the Bacon; well...it was rubber chickens.
