Donald Wade - Chairman's Message

The year 2024 was a good running year for RunNB. There is renewed interest for running in NB. We had more runners register for calendar races than the previous year. To the 7990 runners who crossed the finish line, congratulations!

I am proud of the nominees for the 8 RunNB awards, the top 3 winners in all age categories, male & female, for the SuperSeries program, the top male & female of the Run the Cycle as well as the top 3 winners of the RunNB Multisport Challenge.

We are all proud to welcome Phil Booker to the RunNB Hall of Fame. His passing has left the running community with an great empty feeling. This honor is well deserved.

Thank you to all runners for your engagement in running and congratulations to all for showing up at the start line and competing to the best of your abilities.
