The Russell Run is back after two years of being absent due to COVID. The annual event is a way to bring together a community of runners that share a passion for staying in shape and running through nature. The run offers different lengths depending on a participant\u2019s fitness goal, with two-kilometre and five-kilometre timed options. New this year is the 10-kilometre option for those who really want to test their limits.<\/p>\n
\u201cI added the 10k option because of park run, and I\u2019m hoping it\u2019ll attract a bigger crowd this year,\u201d said organizer Michelle Leduc. \u201cIn previous years we\u2019ve had around 80 to 100 people, but Russell has really grown in the past two years, so I\u2019m hoping to get around 120 people this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is no time limit to the race, but organizers will track times so people can evaluate themselves and their progress. In addition, since the run is so close to Halloween, there will be a prize for the first runner in full costume to finish their run. The run will go on, rain or snow, so the organizers recommend keeping an eye on the weather and dressing accordingly.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing short of a hurricane will stop us,\u201d said Leduc. \u201cWe have people that run in negative 20-degree weather.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
