Huntsville Half Marathon

Hi,

I wanted to let the Barrie Roadrunners know about a new Half Marathon taking place in Huntsville, Muskoka in June this year. We'll have live bands playing rockin' tunes along the route to energize everyone's race experience. It's a challenging course with plenty of hills. The entire route is on roads through beautiful Muskoka scenery.

Date: June 10th - 9:30 am start
Distances: Half Marathon, 10k and 5k

Full information & route maps: www.huntsvillehalf.com

Online registration: http://onlineregistrations.ca/huntsvillehalf/

We'll have chip timing and lots of great prizes.
Early bird rates are in effect until the end of April.

We are extending our Early Bird Rates past April 30th to groups of ten or more runners. If you have a group of this size please contact myself or melissa@bandontherun.ca or call 705-788-3488.

We'd really appreciate it if you could spread the word about our new race!
Cheers

Boston Marathon Article

I thought I would pass this article from the National Post about the 2012 Boston Marathon. There are always many stories that accompany any marathon but when its Boston and the conditions are extreme, the whole world notices. Congrats to all our Barrie Roadrunners who ran Boston this year, you should all be proud.
