We would like to extend a huge “Congratulations” to our Towne Fitness Runners for not only running great races on Sunday but for following their training plans and persevering in such treacherous conditions. What a great show of sportsmanship as our Townies supported one another on course and crossed the finish line like they owned it. The Frosty 5K team consisted of Sarah Ricci, Jillyan Quail-Davis, Jocelyn Gilbert, Amanda Arch-Webber, Tracy Smith and Andrea Davies. Both Patricia Hunt and Hannah Sine completed the Half Marathon with strong finishes. Angela Gallie, a seasoned Towne Fitness runner switched up her role as a runner and ran as a pacer, running alongside Katie. Our first-time half marathoners Katie Komisveric and Glenn Webber both finished ahead of their predicted times and crossed the finish line with smiling faces.

A tremendous accomplishment given the high level of runners present. Their hard work and perseverance paid off as all our runners represented well on Sunday with Towne Fitness runner Susan Richardson taking second place in her age category. Presented by long time runner and NCCA Coach, Tim Uuksalainen and Rachel Murray RHN, our runners gained valuable information including training and racing tips, nutrition to support training and race day tips as well as a Training Plan to guide them through to race day.Īlthough the weather was favourable on race day it has been anything but these past months making training for our runners so much more difficult. The work for these races started back in November, 2018 when Towne Fitness hosted a “Running & Nutrition Workshop”. The sun was shining and the temperature was near perfect as 4,000+ runners crossed the start line of the Chilly Half Marathon & Frosty 5km on Sunday March 3, 2019, in Burlington, Ontario, including 12 Towne Fitness Runners 6 in the Half Marathon and 6 in the Frosty 5k.
