Harvest Moon 2023

The Regina Road Runners are hosting our annual Harvest Moon Run. Join us for a relaxing fall, fun run under the light of the Hunters Moon (barring cloud cover)! Walkers are welcome!

The event is on Saturday October 28th – the last event from the RRRC for 2023. We will meet at 18:45 for instructions, 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 loop on the flat followed by a run up the James street hill.  Anyone choosing to skip the hill can do loops on the flat.

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 and it is free for members.

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 at the Lumsden Hotel and Steak Pit for appetizers and beverages.  The club will cover the cost of the appies.

Harvest Moon Run 2020

Now that the race season that never was is coming to a close, the Regina Road Runners will come together for a relaxing fall, fun run – in the dark!, with social distancing. Walkers are welcome!

The event is on Saturday September 26th – the last event from the RRRC for 2020. 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 breath-taking (it could be cold, and yes – there is probably a hill) tour of parts of Lumsden.

This is a fun run to enjoy the company of other runners, reminisce about what you would have done if there had been a 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 not required and there is no cost.

This is a night race in late September 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.

“Then, as he wended his way, by swamp and stream and awful woodland, to the farmhouse where he happened to be quartered, every sound of nature, at that witching hour, fluttered his excited imagination. (1.16)”   So says the Legend of Ichabod Crane

Tips for Running at Night

Paraphrased from Running Room Magazine V.18, Iss. 5 Sept-Oct 2012

Pay closer attention to surroundings, especially footing
Stay alert
Leave the headphones for daylight
Be reflective – cars need to see you
Wear a hat to reduce headlight glare
Bring a headlamp or flashlight – you’ll see better and be more visible to cars
Carry ID and a cell phone
Stick with a buddy or group
