Stanton to host pep talk in Vancouver

January 31, 2012

Running Room founder John Stanton is hosting a public pep talk and 6K run on Feb. 4 for people planning to run the Vancouver Marathon this spring.

Stanton will host the talk and run at the Denman and Georgia Running Room location near Stanley Park in Vancouver at 9:00 a.m. He’ll give running and training tips for runners in the BMO Vancouver Marathon.

He’ll be joined by Charlene Krepiakevich, Executive Director of the Vancouver International Marathon Society, who will describe the new point to point courses for both the marathon and the half marathon.

Following the pep talk from Stanton and Krepiakevich, attendees can join Stanton and The Province Marathon Team for a short run in Stanley Park.

Attendees of the talk-and-run will receive a $10 gift certificate for Running Room merchandise and have a chance to win one of two door prizes, which each include a free registration into the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon.
