VR Pro Inc. Home of the Chilly Half 🌶 Frigid & Frosty ❄️ Canada's Original All-Santa race 🎅 and more! There still may be another Marathon in the future.

For the past 20 years Mark and Kelly Arnott have been making Burlington the place to race!! The original race was the Downtown Dash in 1994 which took place in downtown Burlington and this first ever 5k race had 160 runners in it. We then decided along with our enthusiastic running groups from our store The Village Runner that we would encounter a Half Marathon which was put together the next year

. This race started at the Oakville Village Runner and finished at our Burlington Village Runner. For that very first year we had over 250 runners with proceeds of the event going to Halton Women’s Shelter. This race has carried on over the years to become one of Canada’s premier half marathons with thousands participating. VR Pro continued to put together new races every year including the Jingle Bell race, Waterfront Trail and Hannukah Hustle

In 1999 the first ever Burlington Marathon was initiated and the response was amazing. The Burlington Rock N Roll Marathon, half marathon and 5k continued for 5 years until it outgrew the city. Mark and Kelly hosted the Mayors triathlon and were the Run Directors and founders of the CIBC Run for the Cure for 5 years. VR Pro will host approximately 20 events per year in the GTA and also directs many other races for organizations and has been instrumental in raising over a Million dollars towards various charities

Training partners don’t all look the same… some have 2 legs and some have 4! But the mission is the same: show up, move forward, and enjoy the run together 🐶🏃‍♂️

A great training buddy is the one who keeps you consistent. The one who gets you out the door on the day’s motivation is missing and celebrates the small wins. They’re there for the early mornings, the tough sessions, the easy recovery runs, and the post-run moments where you both just feel a little more alive than when you started 🔥💪

Because the best training partner is the one who never cancels, never complains, will match your pace… and is always ready at the door with a smile, a coffee, or a wagging tail 🐕
