On your Mark! Get Set! Go!
The Red River Fun Run is set to kick off on Wednesday (Oct 10th) at noon at the bus loop on the NDC campus. If you want to see the expertly mapped route, courtesy of instructors James Slade and Michael Whalen, check this out.
One circuit is 2.9km. The full race is 2 times around (5.8 km) for runners and one loop for walkers. Of course, you can opt to run once around if that’s what you’re up for (if you want to round off, this is like a mini-marathon…though a bit shorter in distance). The course has been marked with stakes that have orange flagging tape on them, making it a bit less likely for you to get lost / confused/ run the wrong way.
Next year, we’ll plan this race for September when it might be warmer…but this year, we’ll have to brave the elements. There will be some random prize draws for participants. The SA has donated 2 student prizes, and the Wellness Committee has some prizes for staff. To be eligible for a prize please register for the race online.
