Maybe this is a silly question, but I'm going to put it out there anyway. How do you find your races? I know some are listed on the Running Room's website, but where else do you look for them. I was in a store about a week ago and they had an outdated sign for a race I'd never heard of. It's not like I'm in a big city but I suspect there are more than 4 races in my city in a year (which is about all the RR has on their site).  |

Hey Meg....
I found most of my races through word of mouth or from friends who run.
Other than the RunningRoom web site have a look at
www.canadarunningseries.com
I'd also suggest finding an independent running store in Regina and ask them, I'm sure they would have great insight into some local races.
Also, once you find a race there are usually lots of flyers for other races in your race kit or at the Race expo.

MTA: This might be promising: www.reginamultisport.com They list a race on May 25th. The I Love Regina Run will be held on Sunday, May 25, 2008 at 9 a.m. at City Hall.

Have you tried Regina Road Runners and Regina Multisport Club?
I get most of my race info from my local running club's website... |

| All of the above are good suggestions. Once you've done a few races, they start to find you as well... flyers will show up in your main with increasing frequency! |

word of mouth
RW Race Calendar
Ohio Sprts and Fitness
On a side note, you can go to a basketball court and generally get a pickup game going. If you're on a trail or in an area where a lot of people run, I think you should be able to get a pickup race going. Just start asking people if they want to race and see what happens. |
