The temperatures have just dropped and this is prime running and racing season. Before we get to the spring calendar, there is one season in between that presents a fun annual challenge!
Prizes
Two free 2027 RW Memberships and two free entries to Re-Fridgee-Eighter 2027*
Contest theme
All we want to know is what are your seasonal running plans. The Re-Fridgee-Eighter is knows as a winter test of fitness because it’s smack in the middle of winter. Sometimes that’s looks like 2024…
…and sometimes that looks like 2026, when it was -22C at race start.
So for this contest, we just want to know what you are expecting this winter. Do you love or hate winter running? What are your tips and tricks? Do you have any goals for 2027? Have you participated in our winter test of fitness before? Or anything else you have on your mind!
