In February, we launched an exciting new program. It’s a social competition, a loyalty program, and a fun community initiative, all in one.
What we hadn’t announced – until now – are what the points are for, besides bragging rights! Here are your 2018 RW Boost prizes:
Four levels of RW Boost prizes
1. Member t-shirt
- Criteria: 800 points
- This shirt is the first clothing item that is specifically for members to identify themselves and show off their Run Waterloo pride!
2. “I Run Waterloo” hoodie
- Criteria: top 15 in each demographic
- Even more exclusive is the hoodie! Earning this prize are runners who are truly at the core of Run Waterloo.
3. 2019 Run Waterloo membership
- Criteria: top 5 in each demographic (entire 2018 leaderboard)
- The next prize is another thank-you to our most loyal members – free memberships for the 2019 season!
4. Saucony shoes
- Criteria: 2018 demographic winners
- The biggest prize is reserved for the biggest winners – only four members are running away from this program with a free pair of shoes from Saucony Canada!
Prizing rules
- The 2018 Boost standings will be finalized after the final race of the year on December 1, 2018. Prizes will be determined and distributed in December 2018, not before.
- All prizes are completely free to RW Boost participants.
- RW Boost is exclusive to and free to RW members.
- Deadline to join this competition is April 30, 2018. At this point, all members who have a membership profile are included, and anyone who is not a member or does not have a member profile is ineligible.
- Learn more about:
- What RW Boost is all about
- How to join the RW membership
- Full RW Boost rules
- Prizes are stackable; four people will earn all four prizes. 20 will earn 3, 60 will earn 2, and there is no cap on how many members will earn prize level 1.
- Note that these are new designs for the t-shirt and hoodie; they have not been printed yet and could look slightly different off the press.
2017 Demo
How many prizes will you earn? We encourage you to check out the 2017 demo to see how many points you “would have earned” last year. Also read the full rules and plan out where you are going to earn your points in 2018!

Huge thanks to our sponsors
