Last summer we soft launched the WRG run club. At the time it didn’t even have a name. It was simply a group of colleagues and friends who met up to run together. There were no rules, or procedures, only a simple route 5km along the Lachine canal, starting from our office.

After the first season in the summer of 2014, we packed up shop for the winter and everyone hibernated until spring.

We returned for our second season this past April with a few races to our name and a bit better understanding of why we ran.

Still just a group of misfits with no experience with organized running, we welcomed new members with open arms. More misfits! From 3 we grew to 5 and now we have 11 regulars and a total of 30 members subscribed to the group. The expansion of the club led us to adding a second weekly run. Oh, I forgot to mention, we landed on a name, the WRG run club. Easy and straight to the point.

As we end our second season, we aren’t hanging up our shoes for the winter, in fact we’re doing the opposite. We’re excited to announce the launch of our first winter running season and our brand new partnership with Nike Running.

This winter the WRG run club & Nike Running will be facing the snow, rain, and cold weather together and like everything we do, we’re inviting you to join us on this journey.

Fill in your information here and you’ll be invited out to our weekly runs. That’s it!

Nervous? Shy? Intimidated? Unmotivated? DON’T BE!

We started this to support one another, whether you’re a beginner or a future Olympian, come out and sweat with us.
