13th Annual Russell Run
Thirteen was our lucky number for the 2024 Russell Run. We had some fantastic weather, beautiful fall colours, personal bests and broken records, fun, companionship, friendship, laughter, support, and all the other wonderful ingredients you find in a community run.

Prescott Russell Relay Up Next!
With the Russell Run behind us, we now focus on the Prescott Russell Relay. Â
We have five teams registered, and there is space for more! So far we have:
The Dream Team (4 members)
Trail Mix (8 members)
Always in Pears (3 members)
Real Handsome Runners (4 members)
Running Late Crew (6 members)
Will we have a solo runner or two? You never know! (and not it's not Coach Michelle)
There are less than two weeks until race day, November 2nd, but that's plenty of time to gather a group to cover the 74 km stretch starting in St. Eugene. From there, team members take turns covering the legs of the trail, varying in distance from 4 to 12 km. There are distances for all running abilities.
We'll end the event with a celebration at Hammond Golf Course, where we'll share stories over some great food. Interested? Click the button below to register your team.
Is anyone up for a snowshoe?
Yes, we're taking on a winter event this year! If you enjoy the Russell Run, how about trying it on snow?
Mark Saturday March 1, 2025 on your calendar. We have partnered up with Spafford Health and Adventure and Dion Snowshoes to hold the Snowshoe Squall in Hammond Hill. More details are still to come. There will be showshoes available for rent and we may even have a snowshoe running clinic in advance so you can get some tips.
We'll share details here and on social media once we know more.
