X-Weighted Running Groups
A few weeks back, we put out a call to any challenge participants who were interested in running in races across Canada as part of an X-Weighted team. We had a phenomenal response, and because of the huge number of people that wanted to do the Vancouver Sun Run we got Paul Plakas to run alongside them!
We are still hopeful that Paul might be able to join other runs, but in the meantime we'd like to encourage you to band together and form your own teams. So, we've created groups for some of the most popular runs (as in the ones that you told us you'd like to run in) and encourage you to team up and encourage each other.
Several of you said you'd be running in the Ottawa Race Weekend. Click here to join the XWeighted.com group for the race.
The Blue Nose Marathon, in Halifax, was one of the most popular races amongst participants. Click here to join the XWeighted.com group for the race.
A few of our Saint John fans said they'd be running the Marathon by the Sea. Click here to join the XWeighted.com group for the race.
We also had a few participants interested in the CIBC Run for the Cure in Moncton, NB. Click here to join the XWeighted.com group for the race.
The Calgary Marathon was also a popular choice. Click here to join the XWeighted.com group for the race.
If we haven't mentioned your chosen run, feel free to set up your own community group and tell us about it below.

Running
Don't know if I will ever get to the point where I could love running.
Run for the cure
The Moncton run for the cure on October 3rd sounds very interesting...I'm just a beginner and I'm 50 pounds overweight but doing it for fun and in hopes of finding a cure for breast cancer should keep me motivated to workout and train...thanks for the initiative X Weighted.ca!!
Wrong Link for Bluenose Marathon Run in Halifax
The link "click here" to join a group for the Bluenose Marathon in Halifax leads to the Ottawa Race Weekend. Can it be changed please. I might join??? Undecided.
It is the right link
to the Blue Nose group, it said Ottawa in the body of the text my mistake. Changed now. :)
