We are tickled PINK by how many runners showed up and stood up against bullying at (a wet) MET Madness. Results will be posted before our next race. Apologies to those who didn't get a sticker - the mystery of where they went remains unsolved, but we will have more printed and available at the next race for the U10 boys, U12, and U15 runners.

A record 900 superheroes soared through Shubie Park! The results of the Super Shubie race are now posted on our website: (https://www.youthrunningseries.ca/results)

School results are:
🥇 Bois Joli with 105 runners!
🥈 St. Catherine's 36 runners!
🥉 Springvale 33 runners!

We noticed that several runners participated in a lower age category, which impacts the results. It’s important to run in the correct age category. Please remember that categories are based on your age at the end of the year. For example, if you are 7 but will turn 8 before December 31, you should run in the U10 category, not the U8 category. We will be sharing more information about race rules and etiquette in the coming weeks, along with details about our next race.
