November 12 5k Jelly Bean Run Water station had: water, tissues and Jelly Beans. What a service. Newmarket is always a great place to race.

September 24 5k Oasis Zoo Run After 10 flat races one with no flat stretch at all.
September 18 5k Island Girl The island is flat. Sort of like the airport run, but more scenic.

April 16 WWF CN Tower Climb Had to give this a try. Very well organized. Not sure if it was more difficult to climb the 1700+ steps or to work in coat/bag check.
April 2 5k Beaches Spring Sprint. One of the nice things about race in 3C with a few hundred participants vs 20,000 (Yonge Street). No waiting around for an hour and freezing.
