"Insanely fun" they said about their (physically distanced) Saturday long run.


A quick review of 2020 in pictures... a year of challenges but also an opportunity for us to reflect of what we've been able to achieve amongst these different and difficult circumstances.


Racing in the times of COVID-19:
Phoenix Runners Club organizes a virtual half marathon race for its members,
​strictly following the public health measures.

Picture

On September 6th, Phoenix participated in a unique race against the clock,
a one mile race: “200 milles á l’heure”. Respecting the social distancing measures
and with a staggered start, this race was offered to up to 200 runners
and took place south of Montreal.


Celebrating Canada the best way we know: running!


The 4th Phoenix Virtual 10km Handicap Race is scheduled for June 26- 29!  
We race against our own time, trying to improve our personal best.
Alan Miller is organizing this initiative.
If you'd like to participate, please contact us via this website's Contact page or directly to
Alan via the Facebook group named 
"The Horsemen of the Apocalypse".

The Canada Beer Run - Montreal Chapter happened on June 9th, 2019. "The Beer Run is meant to be non-competitive, fun and a tad ridiculous. (...)

So, Phoenix Runners decided to participate! Here's a glimpse of the adventure...
