Niagara Ultra

The St. Catharines Road Runners and Walkers are an organization that is made up of people not just dedicated to putting on races; but rather making running fun!

The participation by everyone involved in the club is always amazing to see.  Everyone is doing something, everyone has a smile (and usually a beer on hand) and most of all, they care about everyone that races the race and crosses the finish line. 

This year’s version was no different.  Bob Hatcher who shoots a lot of events with me, took the lead on this one as I was covering a soccer league shoot in the morning.  By the time I got there the main 50K race was in full finishing mode.  Just watching people of every way, shape and form running, jogging or even walking 50K is unreal!  Bob mentioned that one gentleman was running his 60th Marathon on his 60th birthday!!!!

The weather held (although maybe a little on the humid side), the event finishing area was filled with nice shade trees and of course holding anything in Niagara on the Lake is going to be a winner!  If you want more information about club races, visit www.welovetorun.com and start training for next year!

In happiness and health as always!
