I know of many, which I have been meaning to post, several 5 and 10ks to fill out the year. Too tired, going to bed after a late evening doing www.daddyo.ca fixes....yawn ciao --- I have done a Santa Shuffle - they are all unofficially-timed, and not accurately measured, so it is a true 'Fun Run'. - There are no race festivities like post race food etc. The Resolution runs are the same. The have a clock running and an official Finish Line, and decent post race food, all the makings for a real race except no official results. We will be at the Nov 23 and Dec 13 events here http://vrpro.ca/hm/

I am a huge fan of this race: http://www.boxingdayrun.ca/ If you register before Dec. 1, it is only $30 for the run. More if you want a jacket or tights. Their gear is good and much sought after.

Great looking event - on a day I can't run. Too much family stuff going on. New years Day in the Beaches, a 9K run called hair of the Dog. We may do that one. No website for it - I will get more info for you closer to the date.

You did have to post this, didn't you..............Hmmm .....thinking.......

I'd like to give it a go but I'm not driving to the Hammer on boxing day..... plus my family drink too much on the 25th to be running a 10 miler the next day. Boo Hamilton. Only good thing about Hamilton is their football team is worse than ours....... MTA: I'm 95% decided to run ATB

I'm mostly a soft runner and am not sure I can dedicate myself to train for it. I mainly boo Hamilton because of the football rivalry.

But there's so many good reasons to boo the hammer.

Looks like Hamiltonians don't even know a marathon is 26.2 miles not 26.34

Redleaf, I admire your keenness, but do you really want to run a race in mid-winter? I certainly don't! Anyway, check the running room for 5ks in your area, there is something called "the snowflake series" if you are really ambitious, but I don't have any details. (I grew up in Africa, so avoid unpleasant weather as much as I can!) Simon.

Ahh but I truly do love winter. I particularly love January-ish because then it's usually cold enough to play hockey outdoors even in Toronto. On the flip side - I can't stand summer. I don't like being hot. Sigh.
