From dmorri at triumf.ca Fri Jul 4 09:42:32 2025 From: dmorri at triumf.ca (David Morrissey) Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2025 09:42:32 -0700 Subject: [Triumf-running] lunch runs and a couple upcoming races Message-ID: <9a555c62-989a-49db-95fb-955019ea1822@triumf.ca> Hi Everyone, With the great weather, it would be fun to get some group lunch runs going. I plan to organize a few myself, and I encourage others to do so as well. Typically we leave from outside the badge room at noon and return by 12:45pm. Once I get my act together, I'll announce runs via this list. I'd also like to mention a couple of upcoming race events. Next weekend is the Pride Run in Stanley Park, with 5k and 10k options. It's a great event and there is a TRIUMF team (and discount) to join. I've copied the relevant details for how to sign up below. And in the evening of Friday, August 8, the Vancouver Falcons (of which I'm a member) are organizing a track meet at UBC. There are 400m, 800m, mile, 3000m and kids' options. The event is meant to be very accessible - you don't need to have any experience on the track, regular running shoes are allowed, and we typically have participants spanning a very broad range of ages and paces. Cheers, David --- As you know, June is Pride Month! Want to know an easy way to participate? Join the TRIUMF Pride Run team, and/or donate to the TRIUMF team! The run is open to everyone, and can be done as a 5 km run or walk, or a 10 km run.

It is also very welcoming to anyone wanting to join for the community aspect more than the race, as it is as much a celebration and fun morning as it is a race. In order to encourage TRIUMF Staff and Students to sign up and join the team, we are very happy to be supported by both the TRIUMF Recreation Club and the TRIUMF Student and Education team.*The TRIUMF Recreation club is providing $15 off the race registration fee to the first 10 TRIUMF Staff members who register.

He will then confirm that you plan on registering and will send you the discount code to use when you register and the very simple registration instructions. Please follow up with Ben if you have any questions related to this or the run in general.
