Cambridge Harriers Running Club

This Saturday, we'll be running the West River Road/Rail Trail Loop. We will regroup at Footbridge Road.

Also, just a heads up that some of us are planning to run the Rail Trail from Cambridge to Paris on May 14th. It will be about 20km, but if people are interested in coming along but doing less, we may be able to arrange some sort of relay with people switching off in Glen Morris. 

This Saturday, we'll run the Riverbluffs/Rare Trail route. Options for adding distance are running the back trails (they add about 1km) or doing the Langdon loop (14km).

Now that the weather is becoming more consistently warm (please don't blame me for the next cold spell), I've been thinking I'll try to cycle through more routes with trails. If there are routes that you'd like to do (whether they have trails or not), let me know and I'll add them in as well. 

Next Saturday, we'll be doing an extra special run to prepare for the Cambridge Mill Race. We'll be running up to the start at Highland Public School, then regroup and run the race route.

Regrouping Points:

1. Highland Public School (1km)
2. George St and Blair Road (5km)

This will be a good training run for all those who are running the race. It will also be helpful for all the volunteers who want to really empathize with the runners. The hills are courtesy of Steve, so be sure to show your appreciation. 

I'm not sure exactly what the weather will look like this Saturday (so far the forecast says bad), but I'll post two options in case it decides to change to not bad (usually I'd post it later in the week when I have a better idea, but I won't be around). Someone who's there can decide which makes the most sense when you know what the weather looks like that day.
