Windsor Spinergize - Saturday March 7th 

www.windsorspinathon.com 

We are kicking off the year with our second annual spinathon. Last year’s event proved to be highly 

successful for a first year event and we hope to expand this year as the feedback from the our 

survey proved to be very positive. We at Hospice have asked Keith Henry to become our event 

chairperson and he has accepted along with last year’s committee members. Keith is very active in 

our triathlon community and along with his proven ability to organize and lead as he is the CEO of 

Windsor Mold we are looking forward to an even better event this year. This event is for everyone, 

as this is a fundraiser we try to make sure everyone of different fitness levels can participate. New 

this year in all Fitness for Hospice events we will be working with www.onlineregistrations.com, so 

you can sigh up and pledge online. Sign up with your friends or have the company you work for 

enter a team. 

5KM Spring Thaw – Sunday, March 8th  

www.runningfactory.com 

.The next event will be held at the Running Factory on Wyandotte St. in Old Riverside. This is a 

great early season event with over 400 plus participants that kicks off the Running Factory’s season 

of running events. Gary and his staff at the Running Factory have done a great job over the years 

and we expect that this year’s race will be no different. This run also features kid’s events. 

The Subway Cardio Challenge – May 4-18 and May 26 

Last year’s event surprised everyone with not only monies raised $ 12,000, but the turnout from 

the area schools as we had over 3,000 kids walk with Jared of Subway. This event once again will 

have a strong emphasis on not only grade school kids, but we also plan to expand to area high 

schools this year as Subway has come up with a plan to motivate these schools to participate. Not 

to be forgotten as we also work with area fitness clubs such as Refine Fitness where they led all 

clubs with over $3,000 pledged. As we get closer to May I will update everyone with more details 

as we plan on having a web site www.cardiochallenge.ca created for this event and that should 

provide everyone with more details about the event. 

3rd Annual Belle River Lighthouse Inn 

Triathlon and Duathlon – May 31st. 

This event is an extension of our annual Tim Hortons triathlon-duathlon week, with many of our 

committee members helping out with this event. The goal of this event is to give everyone a well 

organized experience while still maintaining the feel of a local race that everyone can just show up 

and participate. Please look to our web site www.windsortriathon.com in the upcoming months for 

more information regarding this event. This early season race will be a great way to kick off your 

triathlon season.

Lifestyles Fitness Clubs / Running Factory Kids Camp 

July 27-29th  

www.windsortriathlon.com 

As this will be our 5th year for this camp we expect that the camp should once again fill up as we 

limit it to only 75. Once again the camp staff will be under the direction of Danielle McKibbon Ed- 

wards and her all volunteer staff of teachers from our triathlon community. Each year we try to add 

something different as last year we had Vicky Mikhail from the Teen Health centre talk to each child 

about nutrition and how it relates to not only exercise but also their everyday life. New this year we 

will be moving our camp up one week as this camp always ran during the week of our Tim Hortons 

triathlon weekend and we felt that it was time to move camp as we are all very busy as we head 

into the triathlon weekend.
