Here are some in-person races happening in Canada this summer and fall

Canadian runners have been starved for races for so long, many of us may not realize that racing has resumed in some parts, albeit with limited fields and COVID protocols, such as physical distancing, staggered race starts and masking at start and finish lines. Here are some road and trail races that are (hopefully, fingers crossed) going ahead this summer and fall. Click on the links for more information. If you know of others, let us know by emailing us at info@runningmagazine.ca.
