U13 2012

This year we have a couple of parents joining us. Way to go parents!

You may run, walk, jog, any way you do it is fine.

This video is from 2007 (I organized the Woodroffe team (130 runners raising funds for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation). HD did not exist back then, so video quality is very poor, but starting around 1:40 you an see the 10k, and around 4:30 the people walking by the end. Some of them are about 100 years old.



Remember the amazing six-year-old Mississauga boy set an unofficial world record in the Slainte St. Patrick's Day 5Km Run in Hamilton?  Khalilullah Khan

Or maybe eat some ginger curry? Remember Fauja Singh, who astonished the world by running a marathon at the age of 100. His3 rd one?  "Most of us would be grateful - and more than a little surprised - to be still breathing at 100. The idea of running a marathon at that age seems like something out of science fiction.

"I think the biggest obstacle to someone running a marathon, at any age, is mental. That is why Faulja Singh is so inspirational."

Mr. Singh, who came 3,850th, but still finished ahead of five other competitors, puts his success down to not smoking or drinking alcohol, staying positive - and eating ginger curry.
