There will be a learn to run clinic starting on April 10. It will run every Saturday at 9am until the Marathon by the Sea weekend. The cost is only $60 and you receive a hat and a $20 gift certificate!! Topics covered will include injury prevention, training progression and equipment tips. There will be a very short run/walk after a brief presentation each Saturday.
9am-6pm Mondays to Thursdays, 9am-8pm Friday. 10am-5pm on Saturdays. 1-5pm on Sundays. The Run Club now only operates from KenVal Rehab in preparation for a move back to the Valley in January.

Featuring impressive coverage and protection, Sugoi’s Helium Jacket weighs in less than 100 grams (3 oz.). Lighter than air, the jacket is both water and wind resistant, and has a packable function. This breathable Helium Jacket is perforated for ventilation, has a reflective element, and a signature zip pocket for functionality. We have the women’s jacket only right now.
Alex’s clinic in the Valley on Wednesday will be tied into the KV Challenge Marathon Information Sessions for the first three weeks which will include a 1 mile run to the Quispamsis Town Hall at 6:30pm, a 45 minute talk and then a 1 mile run back to the store. The clinic then moves to longer walk/runs in the Rothesay area. Below is the tentative schedule: Sept 10: Strength Training for Runners Sept 17: Flexibility Training Sept 24: Skill Set Training Oct 1: Securing The Lifestyle Oct 8: Pushing the Envelope Oct 15: Enjoying Competition Oct 22: Grading Yourself Oct 29: What’s Next?
Maureen's Thursday group has the same timetable. If you have already paid your club membership, it’s all free. If it’s expired or you know a friend, it’s $60 plus tax for the club and we are presently offering a free entry in the KV Challenge Relay!!
The West Side Store is now open on Wednesdays from 11am to 8pm. A big thanks to Denise Long for taking on the big shift!! All shoes are on sale for $99.99 or $69.99. All clothes are on sale for 30% off.
If you're not competing in the Marathon by the Sea, please consider helping out at our groovy water table by Giant Tiger. Disco is the theme and some people will be definitely dressed up! It should be a lot of fun. If you'd like to help out, contact Connie at connie.coffin@yahoo.ca.
Singlets will be available again for an extra $20 on the day with limited sizes. We will have a special speaker at the awards banquet. Thanks again to Joe McGuire for being our speaker in 2007!

$5 from each entry goes to PRO Kids, $5 goes to Kinsmen and $5 goes to St Mark's. The rest goes to cover run expenses. The entry fee for the younger children in the 400m is free. The older children (8 and up) can run in the 2.5K but are charged the regular fee. This will be the first race of the triple crown which will include the K-Park 5K and the River Valley Rave Run 5K. Age group prizes for runners who complete all three. A special welcome to PRO Kids as we are amalgamating Lancaster with the Neigh Day event. If you need child care, there is a $5 fee and they can run in a special 500m event for the smaller kids. Nordic Walkers and pets are welcome!

Brooks sponsoring Nerepis 30K and Grand Bay-Westfield 10 Miler - 2007-09-10
First up is the Nerepis 30K on April 20. Just a 30K?? Absolutely. We want to keep the focus on this event on the aspiring marathoners who are training for a May event. Brooks will be sponsoring the socks again and we are expecting a big crowd. The views of the river are spectacular. Nordic walkers can start 30 minutes early if they like but this is not necessary if you prefer to start with everyone else.
Then....The big change!! The Canada Day 10K and the Half Marathon have now been combined for the brand new 10 miler. The turnaround is now just after the bridge. Both races will now hopefully finish on our brand new track!! Check out the routes in the links section (look to the lower left). There will be top prizes for both local and visiting runners. Cash prizes for the new course records in the 10 Miler. It will be an exciting year with the course change. This will help simplify the run course for safety reasons and will give us a better time cushion before the Canada Day parade. All race profits go to the new track. Children’s activities while you run will be supplied with a $5 donation to the Saint John Track Club. Special award for the top nordic walkers in the 10 miler! Brooks sponsored a red and white Singlet last year. This year ???????
Check out our race calendar link above to Run NB to get more information!!!
