Russell Run Club's Weekly Run-Down March 2, 2025

It's been cold, but we've been adapting and planning! While Sunday's group run moved indoors to the Embrun dome, some members are still braving the outdoors. If you're cozied up indoors, why not register for our upcoming Spring Youth Programs or help shape our future at the First Members Meeting?

While some may be sticking to the treadmill lately, these ladies are still light up the streets!

First Members Meeting

Watching the Russell Run Club grow into such a strong, supportive community has been incredible. Over the past three years, we’ve built something special—not just a running club, but an organization that brings people together, supports each other, and celebrates the joy of running.

Now, it’s time for the next step. While Michelle has carried much behind-the-scenes work, we’ve reached a point where she can begin to share the responsibility and focus more on coaching and other pursuits. This is a positive shift that will allow the Club to continue thriving with the support of its members.

Our First Members Meeting as a Not-for-Profit organization is a key milestone in this journey. It’s a chance to celebrate what we’ve built, establish a strong foundation for the future, and ensure the club continues to grow and evolve.

MEETING DETAILS:

Date: Friday, April 4th

Time: 6:00 PM

Location: Camille Piché Community Centre (formerly Cedrine Carrière Community Centre), 8 Blais Street, Embrun, ON

A light meal will be provided.

MEETING HIGHLIGHTS:

Reflecting on our journey & celebrating our growth
Introduction or Election of the Executive Team
Adoption of Bylaws, Policies, and Procedures
Club Vision & Future Plans
Connecting with Fellow Runners

More details will be shared with those that RSVP as we get closer to the date.

All are welcome to attend, but only current adult members can vote on club business.

To vote on club business, ensure your membership is up to date.

This is an exciting time, and we can’t wait to see how the club continues to evolve with the energy and passion of our members. Let’s take this next step together!
