Last year a Jane’s Run was introduced, was well received, and will be repeated this year! Long-time runners and amateur running historians Art Meaney, Joe Ryan and Noel Roy will be leading a 7k loop run through downtown St. John’s, visiting and providing historical commentary on several locations of historical note to Newfoundland running – the finish line to many Tely 10’s and Newfoundland Marathons, plus a National Marathon Championship and a Commonwealth Games Marathon Trial. They’ll also visit the location of the first marathon run in Newfoundland (and second in all of what is now Canada), held in 1909 and featuring two Boston Marathon champions.
The run begins at the Aquarena 8:30am THIS SUNDAY May 5. Expect the run to take about ninety minutes, and feature frequent interruptions with interesting stories.
