Mizuno sponsoring Lancaster 5K - 2007-09-15    

$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!!!
