Cambridge Harriers Running Club

Don't forget the Cambridge YMCA Jingle Bell 5 km Race. It's being held on Sunday November 19th YMCA on Hespeler Road. A 2.5 km starts at 10 a.m. and the 5 km starts at 10:40 a.m. This event has been going on for decades using various courses until the Y moved to Hespeler Road. Now there's an out and back route with no hills to speak of. If you enter before November 12, the 5 km fee is $30. After that it goes up to $40. If you collect $50 in pledges, the fee is waived. There are 10-year age categories for prizes, as well as random door prizes. There's a good feed afterwards too.

  You can enter at the YMCA main desk, pick up an entry form and mail it in, or enter online at:

The club is working on new artwork and apparel, including jacket, shirt, singlet and toque.  Samples have been ordered of the following:

Registration opened for the 2nd annual Dion Winter Goose Chase 7k Snowshoe race earlier in October for next year's race.  The first price increase happens on November 2nd, so I just wanted the harriers to know and take advantage of the early bird pricing. 

The race takes place on Saturday February 3, 2018 at Shades mills conservation area in Cambridge. Proceeds this year are to support the waterloo region Down syndrome society. Right now the race fee is $25 if you need to rent snowshoes the rental fee is $10 and you need to do this as you register.  We have limited pairs available and last year, all were reserved over a month in advance. It looks like I will run out of rental pairs again this year, so make sure you do this when you register.

I will be sending another email asking for volunteers to help on race day. As a thank you for helping, part of your 2019 cambridge Harriers membership fee will be waived. More info is coming about that.

This year's event will be bigger than last year, and I can't wait to host another fun day in the snow!
