The Monday Workouts

The SRRA's weekly workouts for SRRA members are continuing. Join the SRRA and join us Mondays!

Runners of all levels have been meeting every Monday at 6:30pm for weekly workouts and quarterly timed runs. All levels - from beginner to advanced - are invited to attend and workouts specific to your level will be available.

Meet at the Mendel Art Gallery parking lot (south of the Gallery) for a 6:30pm start - please show up a little early. There is no cost to SRRA members for any of the Monday sessions - the workouts or the timed trials. In fact, all participants must be SRRA members and this is therefore a great opportunity to take advantage of your SRRA membership.

Monday Night Speedwork Sessions
Our philosophy for our speedwork sessions is simple. We want our members to have fun, to improve their running, and to enjoy speedwork in a group atmosphere. To make this work, we do need to organize participants into groups that are logical, where runners of like ability can participate together. Here is a description, prepared by Bruce Craven of Craven SPORT Services, of what to expect at the weekly workouts.

SRRA's Age Policy

The Directors of the SRRA have established a policy regarding age limits for our events. Here are the age guidelines.

 

Rules of the Race

Some useful race rules have been prepared by the Road Runners Club of America.  We thought we should borrow  them and post them here.  Please read them as they apply to most road races.

All of the events put on by the Saskatoon Road Runners Association are a success because of the many people who volunteer in various capacities.
