Walk (Fitness) clinic at the Kingston Running Room.

This was my first clinic - it was a gift from my daughter. I am overweight and was discouraged with my poor performance on day one - but - both Heather and Joan where understanding. I really would like to thank Joan in particular who has "nagged" me along (our joke) and encouraged me. She helped me to understand the right posture to walk properly and to gain stamina. Together we have managed to end every walk at the end of the group but I am still eager to continue. Group has been great and I am looking forward to CIBC Walk in October.

Half marathon clinic at the Westmount Running Room.

This was my first 1/2 Marathon it was a very nice clinic. I was very impressed with our instructor.
We all had an amazing time and the clinic was so much fun. Megan Underwood our instructor was amazing and so motivating. The running room store in Westmount is so much fun and the employees are so friendly we all feel like we are a big happy family.

Jun 9/10 I am finding this the most amazing group I have ever belonged to. I feel like I belong even though I am not athletic...the group is run very well. I find our instructor to be very motivating. It is a life changing activity I have taken on

Jun 10/10 Dinah is an excellent leader and motivator. She keeps the classes fun but practical which keeps me coming back each week. Both her and Shelley are great at keeping me motivated by their comments and their interest in each person's development. Never thought I could run but with Dinah and Shelley's help I am reaching my goal each week.

Jun 28/10 I feel everything that the running room does is great. I like the fact that everyone stays together and no one is ever left behind. Great experience for me. Thanks.

Jun 29/10 Our group leaders have been positive and wonderful with all the levels of runners within our group. They make running fun.

I love this clinic and am so glad that I joined. I absolutely love Dinah and Shelley. They are fantastic instructors!

Kingston Store (Kingston, Ontario)

Jul 6/10 This was a great clinic, I enjoyed it a great deal and I will use the skills and knowledge I learned regularly to keep fit and healthy.

Jul 6/10 The instructor was excellent, Encouragement, Enthusiasm. She brought the group together well even though running speeds were so different. First time in my life at 53 that I have participated in all Monday Class Wed Sun practice runs. Huge improvement in ability for me. I am signing up for the next clinic. Thank you

Jul 7/10 Julia was the best aspect of this program. She was incredibility motivating and at the same time realistic. This was my first Learn to Run clinic and I'm signing up for the 5k next. I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed it and look forward to the next clinic.

Many of the speakers were interesting and I found the information on cross training and stretching very helpful.

Clinic 30564: Learn to Run

Winston Churchill Centre (Mississauga, Ontario)

I just wanted to say that I never thought that I would be able to run. Joining this Learn to Run clinic, with the excellent instruction and support, has let me see that I can do it after all. I am going to continue on as well to the 5K clinic as my next challenge. I honestly cannot think of anything that could improve the clinic at this point- the clinic discussions were relevant and helpful, the support was excellent, the goals were realistic, and it is a wonderful program. Thank you!

This clinic is great. Its a good preparation for the 1/2 marathon. the instructors are fabulous, knowledgeable and they make us feel great, that we belong even if we're not experience runners.
Continue the good work.


This 15km clinic is fabulous.The speakers were great .I’ve learned something new with each.The trainers are excelent.We don’t feel left out even if we are in the slower pace runners.They make us feel great no matter.They are very encouraging and supportif specially during hills training. Would take another clinic with them.Thanks.


The 10 miler is now complete and the lessons have been learnt. Kim and Jodi did an excellent job of organizing and supplying the instruction and presenters. Thanks as well for providing experienced comments while on the training runs. Since I have finished the race I have looked back at some of the mistakes that I made during the race and remembered Jodi and Kim both telling us just what to look for. "Don’t Start too fast it will hit you in the middle (losing energy)". "Keep you head up", "reduce your stride going up hill" but "maintain your cadence" All great advice. Overall a very well run clinic and excellent staff. Thanks, now I must sign up for the 1/2 clinic.

Sunshine’s volunteers have shared how great it is to partner with the Running Room for
this event. They appreciate the level of professionalism, structure and support that is
brought to every detail of the event planning and execution. Our volunteers are proud
and grateful to be associated with an event of this caliber; to partner with an organization
and that recognizes the importance of making dreams come true for the children we serve.
