#ReFridgee8er

A frosty favourite...

Who really knows what the weather will be like for this race? Whether it's singlet weather or a Canadian blizzard or anything in between, it's a fun and competitive frosty favourite.

...regardless of what you're training for.

This is positioned to be a winter "A" effort or a training race for other spring goals, such as the half, 30k, or full marathon. The 8 Mile is an event that is part of Canada Running's unofficial "Southern Ontario grand slam" of winter running.

How far is 8 miles anyway?

The eight mile race is a certified distance of approximately 12.8 km, which is a good length for a half marathon tempo effort. This doesn't have anything to do suburban Detroit, but if Mekhi Phifer was in town he definitely would do this race.
