2020 McMaster MSTS Virtual Materials on the Move

In these unusual times, it's become more important than ever to ensure our mental and physical well-being. Therefore, the McMaster MSTS has decided to host its very first virtual running/walking/cycling event to encourage everyone to get moving and take a break from screen time! If you're on the move outside, please capture pictures of anything interesting to our materials engineering brain. This can include a corroded bridge, a close-packed structure in nature, or even a spider web. You can share your materials-related images to our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram.

This event can be completed indoors or outdoors. If running/walking outside is not feasible for you, you can also complete your run/walk on a treadmill. Likewise with cycling, you may complete your bike ride on an exercise bike.

If you are interested in participating, please register by Sunday November 15th, 2020.

You have from November 1st until November 15th, 2020 to submit confirmation of your participation. This can be completed through Race Roster by uploading your time and a screenshot of your tracking software or app. Please note that a screenshot of your tracking software/app is required to be able to process your time.

Some tracking apps you may use to track your run/walk include (but are not limited to):

• Runkeeper
• Nike+ Run Club
• Strava
• Adidas Running
• Run with Map My Run
