Winter Training
Looking to get a weekend run in? Thinking it would be easier if you had some people to go with? Well look no further! Every Sunday at 11 for the next two months a group will be getting together and looking to build up the mileage from 5km to approximately 7-8km. As long as you can run 5km. at 6-6:30min. per km. pace, you'll fit right in with our group.
Not quite ready for that, but you want to start running? Our group will be very supportive, and Coach Jason Counsel can lead you in the right direction.
Join the facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/placentiabayathleticsclub/ for more information. Registration fee of $30.

- Please write jason_counsel@yahoo.ca for individual times. It was a cold wet day and tough to get all the bibs and times, but we should be able to give you an idea.
The fun run/walk was in aid of Ronald McDonald House NL: http://www.rmhnl.ca/.
Thanks for getting involved and supporting this worthwhile cause. We planned this event to coincide with what would have been our son William's first birthday. We are thankful to everyone who came out to help us do something positive in his honour.
