RememberRun 2021

There are two options to participate:

1. A Virtual Run any time during the Poppy Campaign (October 29 - November 11)

2. An in-person event on November 14, 11:02 a.m. at The Preston Legion (200 participant cap)

The course for the in-person event will be a 1.5 km loop starting and finishing at The Preston Legion and will run by The Preston Cenotaph. You could run one loop, or 11 loops, or run for 11 km, or for 1:11min, or however you wish as a Remembrance run.

We intend to keep the tradition alive in what would have been the 13th RememberRun race in 2021. This event is not a competitive race, but a fundraiser for the Preston Legion Poppy Fund and Run Waterloo.

Long-sleeved, black technical t-shirts (pictured below) are available to the first 100 entries and will be available for pickup at Runners' Choice in Waterloo on Saturday November 13 or The Preston Legion on November 14 (10:00-11:00 a.m.), or delivered for an $8.50 shipping fee to anywhere in Canada.

For your run, choose something that is meaningful to you. Ideas:

• 11 runs during the Poppy Campaign (October 29 - November 11)
• A run of 11k or ending in .11k (eg. 5.11k)
• 11 total kilometres during the Poppy Campaign (October 29 - November 11)
• On a run, dedicate the 11th split to a contemplation or meditation
• Create a custom playlist of music, poetry, podcasts, etc.
• Make a note of and run by as many meaningful sites as you can, including cenotaphs, cemeteries, memorials, legions, etc.

Participants can donate and fundraise for the Preston Legion campaign through Race Roster. Proceeds from entry fees are shared by Run Waterloo.

Note: If you have a deferred entry from the cancelled 2020 RememberRun, there are no conditions placed on that deferral as of now. It could be used for this virtual race (just email info@runwaterloo.com), but we will send updates when there are live races eligible for the deferrals. Thanks for you patience.
