Ciociaro Track Resurrected

On Saturday, I attended the The Big Workout that was organized by the Speed River Track Club.  Approximately 200 runners came out for a fantastic community running event over the groomed National Cross Country Course.  I continue to be blown away by how many crazy fast runners reside here in Guelph.

Unfortunately, I failed in attempting to be in two places at the same time--otherwise I would have also been in Tecumseh supporting (in person) the resurrection of the Ciociaro Track, and the formation of the Ciociaro Cycling Club (CCC).  Despite less than ideal weather, over 100 cyclists and triathletes from Essex County came out to support the first Ciociaro Cycling Club ride.  The 1275m track has been re-paved, and the local community can look forward to the resurrection of the popular Thursday night crit race series.  The central location of the Ciociaro Club will now become an even more popular meeting grounds for Essex County's various social cycling and triathlon groups.
