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.

Boot Race 2021 – in person

Great news! We are proceeding with this years Boot Race. We are limiting registration to 20 people and we expect everyone to maintain social distancing at the event.

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 – unless they beat their time, too.

Come on out and have some fun.

Entry fee – $15.00
RRRC Members – Free

All races begin and end at the Canada Games Athletic Complex(Douglas Park Track).

Race Course:

The 5k and 10k are straightforward “out and back” races to turnarounds.The 10k route takes the underpass under Broad Street and continues on the bike path to a point near the legislature..

The Kids 1 mile race is not shown, but basically starts on the track shown in the upper right inset, goes out the east gate from the track area, and loops around the cricket pitch visible to the right of the track area.

The Half- Marathon follows the same route as the 5 and 10k, and continues on the path along the lakeshore to the flower garden area north of the Legislature. Then there is a short “out and back” south on Lakeshore Drive and Memorial Drive to a turnaround roughly in front of the Walter Scott building. The course then continues on the bike path clockwise around the west end of Wascana Lake back to Broad Street. Then south on the sidewalk and bike path to the underpass, then back under Broad Street.

OK – here it gets a bit tricky (we call it Confusion Corner) but there will be course marshals there to direct. On the first loop, you will head north on the sidewalk on the east side of Broad St. to Wascana Drive, then east on the bike path to a point just past the Science Centre where a course marshal will turn you around. You retrace the route back to the Broad St. underpass, go under Broad Street again, and follow the same clockwise route around the lake, including the out and back on Memorial Drive. When you get back to the Broad Street underpass, you go under Broad Street and continue back to the Start/Finish area on the bike path. (The same route you started on). You only do the loop to the Science Centre once.

Race Package Pick-up: At the Canada Games Athletic Complex (Douglas Park Track) on Friday, September 30th from 12:00 Noon – 6:00 pm or on race day, 7:15 – 8:45 am.

Results: The results within your event will be available on line within Race Roster within a week after the race.

Charity: Theo’s Challenge will receive support from the Flatlanders 2022 Event. Theo is a 5 year old boy who suffers from Batten Disease, a rare genetic disease that has impacted many of his physical abilities. Assistance is required to help fund Theo’s treatments that are not covered by health care.

2019 Boot Race Results

The breeze was brisk (I think I saw pets blowing by) but the sun was shining and there was no snow so the race went ahead.   The race course allows spectators to watch most of the race as it unfolds so there was lots of cheering during the heart stopping action.  The race director got lazy this year and limited the number of signs so a couple of runners missed turns but recovered and finished well.

Rob Humphries was left saddened with a large hole in his trophy case after giving up the prize to Marilyn Leask, who won the race handily.  Our only first time Boot Racer ended up in second place.

The race was followed by mini cinnamon buns and drinks as everyone reviewed the highlights of the race and discussed other activities to follow this season.

Pictures to follow.
