The executive of the BRRC would like to extend a huge thank you to our many volunteers, without which the race would not happen:

* Roger Hawksby, and Terry Hodges: Cyclists
* Mary Clayton, Merv & Anne Hodgeson: Hydration Coordinators
* Luke Mulder, Vince Mulder, Rayne (?), Tom Marshall, Bob W, Dominic Mulder, and Gabe Mulder: Runner’s Directing and Safety Team
* And a special thank you to our Spirit Coordinator Julia

We would also like to thank our sponsors for providing the runners with much appreciated drinks and snacks after the runs:

Dairy Farmers of Leeds and Grenville

LeClerc (Biscuits LeClerc) of Canada

Super Store Brockville

Our annual Canada Day 5K/1K event wouldn't be possible without volunteers helping to keep things running smoothly! We still need a few more to help with directing runners and managing the water and registration tables. If you'd like to volunteer, please e-mail Murray Tait ([email protected]) for further information on how you can help :-)

Last day to register for the 5K to get your free shirt included with registration!

Heads up for the FYB race tomorrow - We were just informed that the Memorial Center lobby will be unavailable due to the roof work, so registration, awards etc. will have to take place outside. It appears that Spring has once again failed to start and the forecast is calling for below freezing temperature, so ensure you have suitable clothing - layers you can remove before/replace after the run.
Currently we are unsure whether this means the washrooms will also be unavailable - at this time please be aware that there is a possibility they won't be accessible

Way to brave the fresh snow this morning! Huge congrats to everyone who ran the first of our two Freeze Your Buns 5K & 1K races in some truly wintry conditions today.

Thaw out and see you at the next one!

Freeze Your Buns 2026 #1 - Feb 21 · Saturday, Feb 21 📸 Shared album · Tap to view!

Freeze Your Buns is coming up on Saturday!
Register for the 2-race 5K series by 11:59 PM on Thursday (via Trackie: https://trackie.com/event/fyb2026), or in-person from 9:00-10:00 AM, to receive a T-shirt after the March race (a T-shirt may also be purchased at registration for 1K participants who otherwise run for free!)
Registration for both the race and club membership (highly encouraged!) is available in-person with cash or - new for 2026 - debit/credit (tap only at present!) payment available.
And don't forget the OSPCA will be there accepting donations of needed items (dog coats and boots, toys, leashes/collars/harnesses, food/water bowls) to help create their Pawsitive Packs!!

** Please note the corrected times! The previous infographic had the wrong start times - in-person registration starts at 9 with the races starting at 10! **

Registration for the February and March races of the Freeze Your Buns 2026 series of 5K and Kids 1K races is open! Details and registration at: https://trackie.com/event/fyb2026

The series has now been converted to a 2-Race series with the first race having been cancelled - this means anyone who didn't register for the series to get a T-shirt is now able to for the February race (either online before 11:59pm on the 19th, or in-person on race day)

If you already registered for the 3 race series, no action is required - you have been partially refunded and your original registration is still valid for the series :-)

*** ATTENTION FREEZE YOUR BUNS PARTICIPANTS ***

Due to the extreme cold forecast for Saturday, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel this weekend's instalment of the Freeze Your Buns series. The forecast is calling for temperatures below -20°C, which on top of a frostbite risk poses a risk of inhaling cold air deep into the lungs that can result in permanent lung damage. While we understand that this is "Freeze Your Buns" and cold temperatures are part of the theme - we don't want anyone freezing anything more than just their buns!

If you have registered for the 3 Race Series:
- The series will be converted to a 2-race series with the February and March dates as originally planned
- If you selected to receive a T-shirt, you will still receive this after the March race as usual
- If you have paid online, you will receive a partial refund of 1/3 of the registration fee for the series

If you have registered for the January race only:
- If you have paid online, your registration fee will be fully refunded

If you have registered for the January race and the February or March race:
- If you have paid online, your fee for the January race will be fully refunded

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this cancellation, and hope to see those of you who have registered for the series or February race next month!
