Running in Saskatoon

SRRA logo

The Saskatoon Road Runners Association

The Saskatoon Road Runners Association is a non-profit organization, which began in the mid-1970's, at the height of the nation-wide fitness awareness program: "ParticipAction". The SRRA has a proud history of organizing first-rate events, including one of the longest running marathons in Canada: the Saskatchewan Marathon, now in its 31st year.

The SRRA exists to ensure that the citizens of Saskatoon and area, and visitors, too:

  1. have available a number of running events throughout the year, organized by the SRRA;
  2. can attend workshops, training sessions and social events offered by the SRRA; and
  3. are kept aware of other local and regional events (offered by groups other than the SRRA).

The SRRA relies strictly on volunteers to keep the association's activities going, whether it's the SRRA's executive, elected yearly at the Annual General Meeting or the volunteer acting as a road marshal for a few hours during one of our road races. All of our volunteers and members are critical to the association's existence. Therefore, your involvement as a member and volunteer is encouraged and appreciated.

ATTENTION: SRRA Members - re: the Newsletter

One important benefit of your membership is that you'll receive a weekly newsletter, giving you the latest SRRA news. Especially important in the newsletter will be a description of the following Monday's speed workout.

In the last few weeks, the newsletter editor has found that only a little over 50% of the weekly newsletters sent by e-mail are being opened. This is most likely due to filtering by members' e-mail spam filters.

We all know that spam filters have great value, but they can have a negative impact, too (such as interfering with you receiving our letter!). Therefore, remember that as an SRRA member:

  1. you should receive an SRRA newsletter each week, usually on Thursday;
  2. the letter will come from: website@saskatoonroadrunners.ca;
  3. you should modify your spam filter to accept correspondence from that address; and
  4. check your junk mail/span folder for the most recent newsletters which you might otherwise miss getting.

If you have trouble, drop us a note and we'll try to help.
