Remember that on July 17th we will be having our Achilles/Beaches Running Club fun 5 and 10K run followed by a picnic.

Remember 8:30 am Start, we all need to be mindful that we really need to get our run started by 8:30 am Sharp! or as soon after the next TTC bus comes by. So be sure to get yourself down there on time to run. Now that we have been affiliating ourselves with the new Beach Running Club and the atmosphere and numbers have been Fantastic! we need to be respectful of everyone time to get started on time (8:30 am) so that we can achieve our run and still have the rest of Saturday in front us to catch up with family and friends. Thank you. Brian
Upcoming Events:
Now that Spring is here, we are back running in the Beaches - Saturday Morning Runs 8:30 am Start - hosted weekly by Achilles starting under the Parkette right in front of the last TTC bus stop loop located at 1675 Lakeshore Blvd. East which is Woodbine Beach Park situated between Coxwell and Woodbine Ave. Turn South at the Northern Dancer Road intersection into the parking lot.
