Wear Red Road Race

Published on April 2, 2011

Runners all dressed in red leave the Queen Charlotte Armouries in Charlottetown Saturday morning for the Wear Red Road Race in support of the troops and military families. These were the 10 kilometre and five kilometre races, but a half-martathon was also run from the Pownal Sports Centre to the armouries. Organizers said there were about 100 runners registered, but because of the nasty weather the children's run was cancelled. The event was hosted by the P.E.I. Regiment.

3RD ANNUAL WEAR RED ROAD RACES

www.WR3.callard.ca

The 2011 Wear Red Road Races are on Sat 2 Apr at the Queen Charlotte Armoury, Charlottetown, PEI. WR3 features half-marathon, 10K, and 5K distances, all with Atlantic Chip timing, plus a 200m kids’ fun run. Following the races, there will be a (free) pasta dinner or BBQ hot dogs for all runners, volunteers, and families. Runners: online registration closes at 6PM on Thu 31 Mar. We have T-shirts (red, of course) with WR3 logo – request your size when you register online. Chip timing and T-shirts are sponsored by Mark’s Work Wearhouse.

The half-marathon follows a scenic route along the south shore from Pownal into Charlottetown. Trius Tours transports runners out to the start line at the Pownal Sports Centre (washrooms available), and we’ll take kit bags back to the finish line in Charlottetown. There are lots of water/Gatorade stations (gel at the 13K &15K points).

The Queen Charlotte Armoury is home to the Prince Edward Island Regiment, a unit that has sent 22 of its members to Afghanistan (two are serving there right now). There is a fantastic Military Museum onsite that will be open for viewing during race kit pickup on April 1st, and on April 2nd until the close of festivities.

WR3 has the following three objectives:

• to demonstrate support for our servicemen, servicewomen, and their families (all participants – runners, volunteers, spectators – are asked to wear RED: “Remember Everyone Deployed”);
• to raise discretionary funding for the PEI Military Family Services Centre (motto: “Serving those who serve”); and
• to help promote physical fitness in PEI.

WR3 is for the whole family. Participate by running, volunteering, and entering your child in the “everybody wins” kids’ fun run. Kids of all ages will be intrigued by the Military Museum.

Complete information and an online registration link are available on our WR3 website at www.WR3.callard.ca. Got questions? Got suggestions? eMail me!

Sunday Morning Runs

http://wr3public.web.officelive.com/sundayruns.aspx

WR3 Presents...
Sunday Morning Runs

An informal and unstructured running group has decided to meet at the Farmers' Market (Belvedere Ave, Charlottetown) every Sunday morning at 8:30, rain, shine, snow, or sleet.

"Informal and unstructured" means just that! There is nobody in charge, there are no reminder emails, there are no weather-related cancellations, and there are no predetermined routes or distances or paces. We just show up, form groups of runners with similar goals (distance and speed), and run for the joy of it. In all probability, groups will run out-and-back on the Confederation Trail while the footing is suitable, and switch to the roadways when the trail is unsuitable, but that is the decision of each individual group.

While there are no rules, there are some guidelines:

• please be there by 8:30;
• please head out by 8:35;
• please stay in the group you start with (do not run ahead of your group, and your group should not run ahead of you); and
• please do not let anyone run alone, because of either injury or inability to keep up.

On our first morning (2 Nov 2008), groups ran 8, 10, and 16km, so there was something for everyone, although there is no guarantee that these exact distances will be run each week. These Sunday morning runs are great training for WR3 day on 4 Apr 2009. Bring a running buddy if you can, but don't be shy about showing up alone and meeting other runners.
