2022 Boot Race Results
It was a beautiful day in A.E.Wilson park for the 2022 Boot Race. Everyone is back to in person events this year. That is awesome! But we think that gave people lots of choices so our numbers were down for the Boot Race. It was still a fun time and the new champion is Rand Luhning who took home the Coveted Boot Race Award. Congrats Rand!

2022 Boot Race
When – May 28, 2022, 10 a.m.
Where – A.E. Wilson Park
Cost: Non-members – $15, Members – free
Registration is closed.
Boot Race is a 5 km handicap race. For those who have never run a handicap race, or need a reminder, each runner starts the race based on his/her best 5 km time in the past year. If everyone matched his/her time exactly, everyone would cross the finish line together. BUT, if you can beat your best time, you come across the line just a little bit ahead of everyone else.
Come on out and have some fun.
Watch for others using the pathways.

Presidents Communique – Vicky Bonnell
At the start of this year, the Regina Road Runners Executive had high hopes of returning to in-person events. However, we were able to provide just a few in-person opportunities during 2021 – the Boot Race, Regina Beach Trail Run, and the Harvest Moon Run. These were all outside events with fewer numbers, so it was felt that they could be managed, following the guidelines as recommended by the Local Health Medical Officers.
Unfortunately, due to an increase of the COVID variants in the fall, we had to once again pivot for the Flatlanders event. Even though it was an outside event, the Executive felt that it should be held as a virtual event once again, to mitigate risk for its many participants. Thank you to all who registered and those who continued their participation virtually. We heard great stories of your experiences.
Medal and shirt pickup was held at Track and Trail (thank you to Brian Sampson for allowing us to use his location) on October 16th. By now, all who participated should have received their medal and shirt (if ordered) by pickup, delivery, or mail. If you did not, please let us know.
At our recent Executive meeting, there was much discussion about holding an in-person volunteer appreciation and RRRC member Christmas dinner in a local restaurant. Unfortunately, because we are still in the fourth wave of this pandemic, it was deemed that now is not the time. We will keep monitoring the situation and try for something in the new year, if and when this covid situation settles down.
We will keep you updated on 2022 events. We are all eager to get back to some RRRC in-person fun, friends and fitness events.
With the Christmas season approaching, on behalf of the RRRC Executive, I wish each of you a safe, enjoyable Christmas season and a happy, healthy 2022.
Harvest Moon 2021
The Regina Road Runners are hosting our annual Harvest Moon Run. Join us for a relaxing fall, fun run – in the dark!, with social distancing. Walkers are welcome!
The event is on Saturday October 16th – the last event from the RRRC for 2021. There will be a short briefing at 18:45, and the running/walking shall begin at 19:00. We will gather and run from the outside of the Lumsden Hotel and Steak Pit, 30 2nd Avenue, Lumsden.
The course will be a tour of parts of Lumsden, including a spectacular view of the valley (in the dark).
This is a fun run to enjoy the company of other runners, reminisce about the race season and enjoy fall in the Qu’Appelle Valley. It isn’t a race and won’t be timed, but it will be fun! Registration is required but there is no cost.
Register here.
This is a night race in October and sunset occurs early. A headlamp or flashlight is required. Reflective clothing is required.
Following the run/walk, everyone is invited to gather (not too close!) at the Lumsden Hotel and Steak Pit for appetizers and beverages.
