It is famous also for its late race series of demanding hills and The Grim Reaper who awaits suffering runners at km 26 at the top of the last hill.

MARS Track Request

Some high school students have expressed an interest in having MARS start a “track and field sector”.  If there is anyone interested in helping with this, consider coming to our March 19 Meeting, 7-9 pm Active Living Center.  They will already receive coaching through the high school team but likely would be interested in attending some Athletics Ontario Meets with our club affiliation.
