WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE RUNNING MANIACS

The Running Maniacs are a fun group of runners who motivate and encourage each other to aspire to their utmost potential.  Once you have built up your foundation, we beleive you can do anything you put your mind to and "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE"! As Lao - Tzu said "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

 

 

  

When to join us....

The Running Maniacs run all year round, hence MANIACS!  Weekday runs are shorter and range from 5K to 8K.  Weekend runs are longer runs and can range anywhere from 10K upwards depending on the time of year and the events we are training for.  Training runs are generally weekdays.  Because we have runners from both Bowamnville and Newcastle, we alternate meeting places.  Are you an early riser? Perfect, come on out to the 5:30AM group out of Bowmanville from the Mall!  If not join the Newcastle group at 6PM out of the Newcastle REC Centre.  Weekend runs will alternate between these 2 locations at 7AM on Saturdays.  See calendar for more detail.

  

Maniacs on the 'Fun Bus' !  Great way to travel to our events. 

  

WHAT WE DO

Each year the Running Maniacs host a Fall Festival Run/Walk event.  It is held on the FIRST Saturday every October.  This is a unique, fun, and generous event for runners.  All proceeds go to the Walk for Guide Dogs.  Watch for more details for our 5th Annual event to be held on Saturday October 2nd 2010.

Our 4th Annual Fall Run was another great success.  A big thank you to all of our sponsors and our volunteers -- we could not have done it without all of you!  A very special Thank You is worth noting to PORTER AIRLINES INC.  Michael Deluce from Porter Airlines assisted in donating 4 tickets to our event.  The Maniac of the Day was awarded this extravagent prize.  Be sure to see if next year you might be randomly chosen as the Maniac of the Day!  This year the Running Maniacs donated over $4,100 to the Walk For Guide Dogs through the Lions Foundation.

 Results are now posted on our Race Results page from our 2009 event.

Thanks for all your support.
