news update

Registrations have started coming in. This is our first year for online registrations. It's great to see early responses.

An elementary school in Ajax is using our run as a goal for their student running program. Potentially 30-50 runners will be students from Carruthers Creek Elementary School.

More sponsors are getting on board as well. Running Room (Pickering/Whitby) is donating a number of items & prizes. Running Free in Ajax is promoting the race to their evening running groups. RBC Oshawa has donated some funds. Tom's No Frills is supplying fruit and water.  Starbucks, Ajax is also sponsoring us with coffee, ice tea and prizes.

Looking forward to June 9.

That's the date and time for Running4Home 2012. We are holding it at Rotary Park, Ajax once again. You'll be able to run/walk along Ajax's beautiful Waterfront. Stay tuned for registration info and other news.

So far we've already got some great sponsors on board. Can't reveal them yet, but they have a heart for charity and making our region a better place to live. Our 2012 edition of this race is gonna blow our first 2 years out of the water.

Mark the date on your calendar & plan to register as soon as the info is up.

2012 race in the works...

Today I met with Kathy, an executive with Habitat Durham. We discussed Running4Home 2012.

Can't wait to see how we can expand and grow this race so that more people participate & more funds are raised.

Stay tuned for more info in the new year...

WOW... a recap from Saturday

Running 4 Home was definitely a success. We reached our goal of 50 runners, and also exceeded our fund raising goal.

Running for home was able to raise almost $2000 for Habitat Durham. That's an amazing number for 50 runners.


We'd like to thank Premier Restorations (ajax) for being our corporate sponsor, Good Life Fitness in Ajax for the prize pack, Habitat for setting up their booth, Janet and her team of awesome volunteers and of course Christian Life Centre & King Street Church for being co-hosts of this year's event.

We really hope to continue this great tradition and build on our first 2 years/races.
