Before we put MARS to bed until the week of December 28, a few housekeeping details to deal with. The following items were left behind in Kingston.  Contact Pierre if they belong to you.

Put January 5, 2016 on your calendar and tell your friends.  That will be the date of our 2016 club Sign Up and Information Session from 7-9 pm.  Location TBA.

Finally, our last Runner Biography of 2015.

Tony The Runner

Tony Marra greeted MARs runs with a huge smile on his face in the spring of 2015. He attended just about every fun run that the club hosted, including the one that was cancelled due to tornado warnings. Now that’s dedication. Although he lives in High Park in Toronto, he has a cottage in Kearney and, since MARs is the best running group going, Tony the Runner was ultra happy to join the group. There are some rumours on the roads that Tony made inquiries with other running clubs down south, but they were nowhere near as fun as MARs.

Let’s meet Tony the Runner:
