RUN TO REMEMBER
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
–John McCrae

The Run to Remember, sanctioned by the NLAA, is an inclusive event for runners of all levels, from competitive to recreational. As the concluding race of the NLAA season, it follows an out-and-back course along the scenic T’Railway.
Stride invites runners of all skill levels to participate on this Day of Remembrance.

COURSE DETAILS & UPDATES
To make the event safer, we are switching the start and turnaround points. This adjustment will remove the risk of participants crossing Commonwealth Avenue before and after the race, avoiding the safety issues caused by large groups jaywalking to get to the other side. Previously, parking and bib pickup were located in the dollar store parking lot. This year, parking will be available at the Sobeys in Paradise. There will be no bib pick-up on Race day. See event details for bib pickup dates, times and location.
START LINE: T’Railway, access at Burnaby Street.
5.5k WATER STOP/TURNAROUND: On the T’Railway, just before Commonwealth Avenue
FINISH: Same as start
PARKING: Available at the Sobeys in Paradise.
COURSE TIME LIMIT: 120 minutes

ABOUT THE DESIGN:
This year’s medal design pays tribute to those who sacrificed their lives, depicting two soldiers honoring a fallen comrade against the backdrop of a setting sun, surrounded by poppies.
The medal will feature a mosaic effect of sunset hues, with the soldiers silhouetted against it, while the poppies will be subtly raised, creating a 3D effect.
