What Do you Get for your Quinte FunRunners Membership?
As a returning paid member you are automatically entitled to a 10% discount at Tri & Run Sports. It won't take long to recoup your membership fee and you'll get a great deal on all kinds of running (and other) apparel! Note that this discount is availabile only to people who are renewing their membership, not new members.

All FunRunner members will receive a discount on selected events hosted by Tri and Run Sports. For example, if you are registering for the Yo-Yo Run, your entry will be $30 instead of the normal $40 fee.

You will receive free entry into the bi-weekly themed Fun Runs to be held throughout the late Spring and Summer. Cost for non-members will be $2 for each run.

2008 FUN RUNS!

It's all about the fun -- and running and walking, and keeping our bodies moving! We are planning on holding Fun Runs every 2nd Saturday during the late Spring and into the summer this year. We are looking for members to volunteer to come up with an idea and coordinate a run. This can be done in pairs, individually or as a group. A sign up sheet will be posted at the Clubhouse.

To keep everyone advised of events, a calendar board will be put up on the wall at the clubhouse showing the schedule for fun runs (and other events). A poster with the upcoming fun run details will be posted beside the calendar. A poster will also be displayed at Tri & Run.

Suggestions have been another Poker Run, a "wave" run (slowest start first with the fastest starting last), 50-50 run, scavenger hunt, a "later in the day" run. All ideas are welcome! They don't have to be complicated. Just fun!

Quinte FunRunner Socks

We still have Quinte FunRunner socks available for sale. Cost is $7.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members.

They can be purchased at Tri & Run or from one of the executive members.

Recruit a New Member Bonus!
When a current member refers another runner/walker and they sign up as a new member of the Quinte Fun Runners, the referring member will receive a free pair of QFR socks!
