The Running Room Club Update: February 14, 2006
Sudbury Store (Cedar Pointe Plaza)

The new catalogue is finally in and boy are we going to have a stylish running season this spring and summer...I always believe that if your not really good at a sport as long as you look great, it doesn't really matter. Don't tell Vince I said that :) We've received the new Nike line of clothing, New Balance, Adidas with more to come.

The first Sudbury Rocks Marathon is scheduled for May 7, 2006 and we need your help. If you have teens that need community hours, family that like getting involved please send them in to the Running Room and we've got a volunteer form for you to fill out for the event. Paul Washchuk is looking for 250 volunteers so please if you are not running, walking, wheeling the event be sure to register as a volunteer.

St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching and we will be having our annual "St. Patty's Day Run/Walk" on March 19, 2006 at 8:30 a.m. from our store. You have to wear something green...and willing to take a group photo and the rest is all about the green....Gatorade. This will be our graduation run for our Learn to Run, For Women Only groups, our 10k and 5k clinics as well. Last year we had a great time and hope to see you out.

Devon in Turin

For those of you who don't already know, TNOR alumni and Sudbury native, Devon Kershaw, is in Turin, representing Canada on the Nordic Skiing team.

Devon competed this morning in the Men's Team Sprint (it's a two-man relay). He and his partner, George Gray placed 6th in the semi-final and did not advance to the final (I don't think they showed it on TV - but watch the later coverage, maybe it will be shown). According to the commentators, Devon showed excellent fitness and raced very well, but his partner was off his form).

Want to send Devon a good-luck wish? Email him at:

Monday, February 13, 2006 Our sincere condolences to Track North and LU XC alumni, Sarah Hill (Andrews) and her family. Sarah's husband, Paul, passed away this weekend.
