We Are Running Canada!

Since several 2020 masters national championship road races are cancelled and others may be too, the CMA invites all road racers, racewalkers and wheelchair racers to the “We Are Running Canada” event!
The goal is to have a collective effort by masters athletes to complete 7,240 kilometres, representing Mile Zero in Victoria, BC to St. John’s NL. Each athlete can contribute to the goal by doing one or all of the four CMA National Championship distances of 5k, 10k, half-marathon and marathon or the national racewalking or wheelchair distances.

Here is how it works:
1. Between May 1 and September 30, 2020, complete one, two, three or all four of the 5k, 10k, half-marathon and marathon distances, on your own, keeping track of your own time and distance.
2. As you complete each event, post your result with your name, date, city, province or territory, and your age as of each of your “race” days on the Race Roster website.
3. If you complete a distance again with a faster result, go to Race Roster and post the updated time.
4. This is a no-entry-fee, no-medals and no-swag event. Your participation in helping accomplish the goal is what we want to see. If you wish to contribute to a charity of your choice, please tell us about that and we will identify those charities in our online updates.
5. After September 30, the top three provinces will be recognized on the virtual podium, being the three provinces with the greatest number of kilometres per CMA member completed by their athletes. All provinces and territories have a chance to win!
6. In addition, prizes will be awarded in a draw that will be held after September 30. Your name will be entered in the draw once for each of the events in which you participate. In other words, completing the 5k, 10k, half-marathon and marathon will give you four entries in the draw. Prizes include Skechers running shoes!
