Changes to Workout Schedule

Please note that we are competing at the Gord Rusby Memorial Track Meet in Burlington this Saturday so we are switching the Saturday workout to Sunday.

Good luck to all the athletes who are wearing the 310 blue this weekend. 

Also, because Monday is a holiday, we have moved those workouts up to 9:30 am for all athletes. This way you can enjoy your holiday Monday filled with endorphins.

310 Running Athletes Go Varsity

In 2012, 310 Running will graduate two athletes and send them off to university.

Triple jumper Jamie Skimming will pursue a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree at the University of Toronto while competing for 3 time Olympic coach Carl Georgevski and the U of T Varsity Blues.

Cross country runner Shelby Deibert has chosen to head to Laurentian University to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and compete for Voyageur head coach Dick Moss.

Jamie and Shelby follow in the footsteps of Nicole Green, another 310 Running alumni, who has competed on the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks cross country team for the past two years.
