Congrats to everyone who completed @s_laberge27’s January squat challenge! 30 days of squats is no joke.

Next up is a 30-day plank challenge, and Sarah’s posted the full details in the Facebook group. Link in bio.

Sending out a HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed to this weekend’s community initiative. With your help, we filled a sleigh-worth of toys and contributed $550 towards @parkdalefoodbank’s toy drive, which will go towards making the holidays shine brighter for local families in need.

Next week, please join the High Park Rogue Runners

Two car loads filled with food donations, and $680 raised to support @parkdalefoodbank. You really showed up this weekend, crew.

Next up: December 12, we’re taking part in @parkdalefoodbank’s toy drive and will be collecting unwrapped toys for kids aged 4-12 to help make their holiday season shine brighter. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks! ✨

Calling West-End runners! [please share]

Group runs may be on hold, but support for the local community is needed more than ever. This Saturday, please consider taking part in our food drive in support of @parkdalefoodbank.

A member of our organizing team will be stationed at our usual meeting point just inside High Park Saturday morning from 10-10:45AM accepting donation drop-offs for the food bank (swipe for a map of the drop-off location - it’s TTC accessible and a lovely spot to drop by on a morning run).

Bring as little or as much as you can contribute, and we will take care of getting it to the Parkdale Community Food Bank!

Items in greatest demand include:
-Snacks
-Treats
-Cold cereal
-Pasta
-Pasta sauce
-Canned fruits and veggies
-Baking supplies
-Nut/peanut butters
-Fresh fruits and veggies
-Halal meat

Please wear a mask when you drop off your items so we can all remain safe! While we’d love to catch up, we also want to be conscious of not creating a mass meet-up, so please plan to drop off your items and enjoy the rest of your morning. We are extremely grateful for your contributions. 💙

If you prefer to make a monetary donation, we are collecting donations via the Rogue Runners @canadahelps page. Visit the link in our bio for more info.

You put in the work. Now it's time to recover.

We're taking a two-week hiatus starting this week, so we won't be hosting long runs for the next two Sundays. We encourage you to take some downtime from running (we'll be doing the same!) so you can come back feeling fresh.

Beyond that, stay posted here for updates on the re-start, when it’s safe to do so. #runto

If you've run with the Rogue Runners before, chances are you've run with (and been in a socially-distanced-selfie with) Mike.

Mike was supposed to run Tokyo this year. Then it got cancelled.
He was supposed to run Berlin this year. Then it got cancelled.

So he took it upon himself to run a birthday marathon on his own, because birthdays are pretty much the only thing this year that can't be cancelled.

Congrats on your big race, Mike! From the pacer Rogues to the socially distanced finish line cheer squad to the celebration with your family, it was a wonderful day!

Yesterday, 44 Rogue Runners put their fitness to the test for our Coaches’ Surprise virtual Ekiden.

Runners were split into teams of 4 and competed to see how far they could run over a 2 hour period (teams distributed a 20 minute, 25 minute, 30 minute and 45 minute segment across their runners). The results are in and they are...impressive.
- Runners covered a total of 309.25km across 11 teams, at an average pace of 4:16/km
- 5 runners ran PBs (and often had to keep running to finish off their timed segment)
- 2 people who raced separately ran the exact same distance - down to the metre - over 20 minutes
- 8 teams ran more than 28km in 2 hours
- Runners participated from all over the country, with two runners completing their legs 4,611km away from our meeting point in High Park

All in all, an amazing day! Congrats to everyone who joined in. Enjoy your rest!

With the @roguerunners x @soulfuelfitness_to strength series wrapped, we’re thrilled to share that class registrations fuelled a $350 donation to @blackwomeninmotion to support their programming.

Thank you to our generous members for taking part. We couldn’t do this without you!

Heads up: no long run this weekend!

It’s the final week of our base build, and 11 relay teams are going head-to-head in a virtual Ekiden this Sunday in lieu of a long run. The competition is fierce, and the (friendly) trash talk is already getting heated.

Stay posted here for more updates! #runto

It’s our last big long run before the Coaches’ Surprise event! Sign up for Sunday’s 23K LSD run through the link in our bio.

If you’re thinking of running, please sign up through the form. While we appreciate that schedules can change, having contact info on hand and managing numbers is key to keeping these runs safe (and running!). Register before Friday evening to secure your spot.

We often joke about how you’ll always run into another Rogue Runner if you find yourself in High Park.

This morning was no exception: when ten of you cross paths during your early morning workout, you’ve got to capture the moment.
