Our member Kristin Ohm-Pedersen was recently invited to run for Team Canada at the upcoming Commonwealth Running Championships! It is a 54km trail race in Northern Wales this September 25. Kristin is planning a fundraiser and writes:
"I am immensely excited and honoured to be officially representing Canada at such a high-calibre race. As you may know, Canada doesn't allot funds to aide their athletes, so the entire trip is out-of-pocket. As such, I am going to be holding a fundraiser to help with my flights, accommodations, etc. If you are interested and can come, wonderful! Or, if you aren't a runner but have friends who are, please forward this along! The more the merrier!
Here are the details:
-
When: Next Sunday, September 11 from 3-4pm
-
What: I will be hosting a running skills clinic. Certified Running Coach (NCCP Level 4) and fellow Team Canada athlete Ryne Melcher and I will put you through your paces in a series of drills, work on stride efficiency, and strength training. All participants will receive a pair of technical running socks and a running hat!
-
Location: Boulevard Park in North Vancouver (Grand Boulevard & 15th).
-
Cost: $40. All proceeds will go toward helping me pay for this trip/race.
If you can definitely make it, let me know so I know how many people to expect. Otherwise, feel free to show up! We'll be there!
Thank you so much!
Kristin Ohm-Pedersen
