Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I'd also like to mention a couple of upcoming race events.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
David<br>

TRIUMF team members are encouraged to donate to one of these
charities, if able to do so, and to fundraise as well! Last
year, the TRIUMF team had 16 members and raised over $600 for
charity. Let’s try to beat both of those numbers this year! If
you are unable to join for the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="outlook-search-highlight">run</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>but would still like to
