Hi Everyone!
Unfortunately, with the uncertain state of everything right now, I won't be putting on the Pumpkinfest Pursuit this year. I debated an organized virtual event, but I feel like the community feel of the race would be lost. I am planning on the race returning in 2021!
In the meantime, if you're still looking for a goal, I have partnered with another amazing woman from the community to put on a Virtual 5k and 10k run clinic!
You can find all of the details on our website:
www.runtogether.ca
The clinic starts on Thursday June 25th, and registration closes June 23rd.
If you have any other questions feel free to email us at [email protected]
I hope you all are well and staying active and I hope to "see" you all soon!
Happy Running!
