Indigenous Running Club

Week 4 and the weather is changing and the path is beautiful and so serene. The rain held off and we ran 2min intervals! 8 weeks left to go…come out and have some fun 😅

Ooops forgot to post last week 🤭 Excellent turn out for week 3! There’s plenty of time for you to come join us, we love the group runs.

Week 2 of Learn To Run complete! Great turnout tonight! See those who’d like to join us next Wednesday!

Come out and stretch your legs! We had to move our meet up location due to construction 🚧 at Greenway Park, but we’re not too far off the path.
New location is Springbank Gardens Community Centre 205 Wonderland Road South.

Indigenous Running Club Fall Running & Walking Program is underway! Learn to Runs first session complete! If you missed last night’s meet up, no worries, come meet up with us every Wednesday at 6pm! Next weeks locations will move due to construction 🚧

It was great to see many of IRC Alumni back! It was a great feeling seeing the fishes of red running the path again ❤️ I appreciate all the sharing of running & health care tips. See ya next week (or sooner for those doing the L2R)
Call Me! 🤙🏽😁

If anyone is willing to travel to Chicago…🍱🧋here’s a fun one! ♥️

🎉🏅 Introducing the 2025 Dim Sum & Then Some 5K Medal! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

This year’s medal is a stunning tribute to growth and strength, featuring green bamboo as a symbol of resilience and a golden snake, representing transformation and empowerment. 🌱🐍

Just like Chinese Mutual Aid Association - Chicago Office mission, this design reflects growth through challenges and the bold pursuit of success, especially for our immigrant and refugee communities. Every step you take in this race is a step toward a brighter future for those we serve. 🌟

Trail running anybody?!?

To celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day I wanted to create an opportunity for people to be active. So I’m opening up a virtual event while keeping it simple.

Walk or run this weekend and tag the Indigenous Running Club on social media (Instagram/Facebook) or submit via email to [email protected] or on our Strava Indigenous Running Club page.

Open to all levels and abilities and anyone who is interested in participating. Share with your family and friends and let’s be active this weekend to celebrate.

Meet every Thursday in June out front of Storybook Gardens. Gather at 5:45 and begin at 6:00. All levels and abilities welcome.
