Run Pure + Simple is back with a fresh lineup for 2025.
The no-frills series of events that you know and love has four events on the 2025 calendar. These events are free to Run Waterloo members and a great value.
Save these dates!
March 29 – The Conflux
New race for 2025. A 4k on the Linear Trail in Cambridge (Preston). The race goes out and back 1k along the Grand River, and then 1k out and back along the Speed River. The race starts and finishes at the confluence of these two great rivers. New for 2025.
June 28 – Member Relay
First run in 2024, this event randomly sorts the field into teams of four runners for a 4×2.5k relay. This is exclusive to Run Waterloo members. New venue for 2025 TBA.
July 24 – Downtown Kitchener Mile
This summer favourite is the only returning RP+S event for 2025, back for its seventh year. One mile around the lake on a summer evening.
October 11 – Malice at McLennan
If you don’t know anything about McLennan Park in Kitchener, you are welcome to stay blissfully ignorant of the massive hills that await your certified 5k. No PBs to be found here. New for 2025.
We plan to shuffle the rotation and bring back other favourites in 2026, but for now, stay tuned for registration opening up later in February, 2025.
