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!

2021 Boot Race Results

There were some challenges to the 2021 Boot Race: McCarthy Boulevard is closed to vehicle traffic and an obstacle course for pedestrians, The rain Thursday night made the normal race route unsafe, flooding closed the washrooms at Rick Hansen park and the race clock failed before the race but the volunteers and runners were eager for the first live club event since the beginning of the pandemic so everyone showed up.

The race began on time with 12 runners and a great crowd of volunteers to time them. Jan and Robert ran neck and neck throughout the race right to the finish line where Robert edged Jan out to take the much coveted trophy home to Waldeck. (Ok, I think they were chatting until the last few metres). Sunshine and laughter were everywhere and we look forward to seeing everyone at future RRRC events

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

2020 Prediction Mile/Kipchoge Challenge

The turnout at the Regina Road Runners 2020 Prediction Mile was great with 20 participants plus timers and observers. The goal was to predict your running/walking time and then try to match it (no watches allowed, except for the timers). The event was run in 2 heats.  Art and Vicky Bonnell coordinated the timing with participants assisting when they weren’t on the track.  The larger group lead to a lot louder cheering and more high fives for the athletes as they completed each of their seven laps.

There were ties for 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th but everyone won as we all had fun.

The 1^st annual Kipchoge challenge took place following the Mile.  Kipchoge ran a sub 2 hour marathon which is a pace of 34 seconds for 200 meters.  Several participants ran as a pack to attempt that pace. The times varied from 31 seconds through to 40 seconds.  Some very impressive speed!

The energy burned cheering and running/walking was restored with pizza and pop and lots of socializing afterwards

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.

2019 Prediction Mile Results

The Regina Road Runners 2019 Prediction Mile took place on March 24^th at the Fieldhouse. There were eight participants – two children (Maryn and Logan Japp), one baby, Esmae and 6 adults. The goal was to predict your running/walk time; and then see how close you could actually walk or run the mile (no watches allowed, except for the timers). Art Bonnell and Doug Leask timed while Vicky Bonnell took care of setting up the room.

The children ran last year as well and improved by more than 3 minutes from their last year’s time. The Japp family is quite a family of runners. It was a lot of fun cheering on the participants as they completed each of their seven laps.

There was pizza and pop for everyone afterwards.

The Regina Road Runners AGM followed afterwards with 12 attendees.
