Run Waterloo News

Only a few days left to save!

The Waterloo Running Series is adding its ninth event this December. By registering early for three or more events, there are great opportunities to save! It works like this:

As you can see, the more events you run, the higher the savings. If you sign up for six events, you are really paying for only four. You can use the WRS to set your running goals for 2012. For example, plan to run a 3k in June, 4k in July, 5k in September, and 8k in November, and only pay for three of the races!

This series discount ends on Tuesday, January 31st. Unfortunately we don’t have the online payment and registration set up for this discount, so you can either mail your form to:

2 Weberlyn Crescent
Conestogo ON N0B 1N0

or drop it off at Runners’ Choice:

255 King Street North
Waterloo ON N2J 4V2

Please email info@ runwaterloo.com or call the race hotline 226-750-0017 if you have any questions. There are only five days left for this great offer!

Suit up at the Santa Pur-Suit

Lloyd — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 02:46:06 +0000

Have a jolly good time at the Waterloo Running Series’ newest event!

As you hopefully have already heard, we would like to take this opportunity to officially announce our newest race – a fun Santa-themed run on the first Saturday of December.

The inaugural Santa Pur-suit will be December 1, 2012.

Included in the entry fee is a Santa Suit, which is mandatory for the entire 1k, 3k, or 5k race. Imagine hundreds of Santas running down the street!

The Santa Pur-suit will be held at the Stork Family YMCA, and all pledges will go towards their various youth programs.

You have a year to think about it, but remember – if you sign up for three or more races in The Waterloo Running Series by January 31, you can save up to 35% on the entire series.

We hope to see you out… Get ready to suit up!

With over 6,000 runners and over $75,000 raised for local charities and non-profits, 2011 was a great success. Each of our 8 events this year offered you the opportunity to engage with the community, meet your personal fitness goals, and raise money for a good cause. We have a number of exciting new initiatives and enhancements in store for 2012, and we look forward to your continued support!

You can follow us on facebook throughout the winter at facebook.com/RunWaterloo. See you in February!

Sincerely,

Lloyd and the Race Crew
