THE WILD MILE - Wednesday Oct. 27/21 - now certifed

10/21/2021

In the fall of 2019, the Runners Shop introduced the Wild Mile - see earlier post HERE. 
​
The event is unique in that the mile distance is a seldom run event, and it's run in the gorgeous ravines of Roycroft Park and Nordheimer Ravine, just south of Sir Winston Churchill Park at the corner of St. Claire Ave. W. and Spadina Rd., in Toronto. 

Back in 2019, the ravine was undergoing construction so that the route had to deviate from the hiking/bike path. Consequently it was not practical to have the route certified, although Coach Pimm did accurately measure the route that was used. 

However, now that the renovations have been completed, the Runners Shop recently  commissioned Pimm to measure the route and it is now certified by Athletics Canada.

The route is basically out and back, with a loop around the half way point. Check out the course map HERE.

It should be noted that The Wild Mile is in support of Hopes Rise, a charity that invests in 
children living in poverty to enhance their social health, cognitive development and academic success.

Muskoka Marathon has 5K & 10K routes certified

10/11/2021

Although the event has already happened, those who participated may be interested to know that early in the week of the race,  race organizer, Jed Corbeil, and his committee,  decided to ask Coach Pimm to measure and facilitate  both the 5K and 10K races be certified by Athletics Canada.(Note - the races were run on a out and back route)  

This decision was precipitated by one of Canada's outstanding age group runners, Liz Schad,  who expressed a desire  to try for a Canadian record in the 65 to 69 year category for 5K.. And records can only be approved if performed on a certified route, in a sanctioned event.

As it happened, Liz just missed breaking the Canadian Record of 21:15, recording an outstanding 21:27. But that did break the Ontario record. So congrats Liz !!

You can see the course details HERE.
