What we’re about
This is a family-friendly group dedicated to a 5K walk, jog or run every weekend until the weather gets too cold in one of the best city parks ever, Riverdale Park.
- Using the park track we can all go at our own pace and never really be left behind unless we all finish way ahead of you. :D I think an hour is enough time to dedicate to the run. I'm pretty slow, so you will likely have me around for most of the run.
- Members are free to leave the run whenever they want.
- Bring your kids, your pets, your partners, etc.
- There's also an outdoor pool attached to the park where people can cool off in the summer months. Tennis courts too if that’s ur thing.
- The Don Valley is being ‘revitalized’ but once done, should be beautiful.
- The Riverdale Farm would be fun for kids.
- There are estaurants and cafes on the Danforth to reverse all the calories lost.
- I may bring snacks on occasion
We also welcome runners who are not in our neighbourhood and want to join us spiritually and run from their own neighbourhoods. :-) Share pictures or progress updates if you do join remotely.
Imagine how much healthier and communal the world would be if we all stopped for an hour once in a while to run together; re-centring and re-charging together?
I'm proud to say this idea was inspired by Eliud Kipchoge's example as a legendary marathon runner. (**I don't run anywhere near his speed and am a run/walker).
