This event is in support of the Achilles St Patricks Day Race - 20th Anniversary, which happens March 17th, 2019.
Achilles Canada develops specialized programs for children, teens, adults and veterans. It provides training, racing opportunities, and social events for athletes with disabilities. They also bring running and marathon opportunities to veterans who suffered trauma while serving in a branch of the Canadian Armed Forces, predominantly those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is a strava community that brings together people who love running, want to train hard and love a challenge. We are using this club to post Coaches' Challenge workouts that will push you just a little farther and a little harder. The workouts are designed by experienced coaches from Mile to Marathon (M2M) and BlackToe Running. We will keep it spicy and fun!
M2M is led by Olympian Dylan Wykes and a team of professional coaches based in Vancouver.
BlackToe Running is a run specialty store based in Toronto that also has both beginner and advanced coached run groups.
A race that is near and dear to our hearts is the Achilles St. Patrick’s Day Run. With both 5km and 10km options, this run/walk race helps kick off the first Sunday morning of spring with Irish chili, an ice cold beer, and St. Patrick’s Day fun. Donations from the Achilles Run benefits Achilles Canada – a non-profit organization that provides people with various disabilities an opportunity to receive the physical, psychological, and communal benefits of running.
BlackToe is committed to supporting this vulnerable community through other programs, such as Good Foot Delivery – a delivery service employing people with developmental disabilities and providing them with tools to find meaningful work.
