Blue Nose Marathon - 10 years running

Ten years ago, Halifax was placed on the marathon running map with the creation of the Blue Nose Marathon. This year HRC members will be supporting the event as runners, volunteers, fundraisers and fans. We plan to support the water stops for the Blue Nose Marathon Youth Run which takes place on Saturday May 18. If you're able to work the water stop, email Dianne Chiasson.

To register for one of the 5 events, visit the marathon website. Also be sure to check out the Charity Challenge. There are 30+ great charities connected to the event including: Laing House, Craig's Cause, Nova Scotia Nature Trust and Right to Play.

Together We Run Boston 2013

In response to the horrific tragedy at the Boston marathon, runners are gathering at Point Pleasant Park on Monday (April 22) at 6PM for a group run. The run will be 30 minutes (15 mins out, 15 min back). We'll leave from the lower section of Point Pleasant Park and ask that everyone run in silence for the first kilometer (no watches, speaking or music) - instead take the time to reflect on what happened in Boston and how privileged we are to run free without worry and hope that what happened in Boston will never occur again.
