• SaskCentral QCM receives Running Room National Volunteer of the Year "Golden Shoe" Award for the second straight year!  As determined by a unanimous vote taken by senior management of the Running Room chain of more than 90 stores across Canada and the northern USA, Running Room and Walking Room founder John Stanton presented the SaskCentral QCM organizing committee with this award for the second consecutive year.  This is the first time the award has been presented twice to the same event.  Congratulations to all the members of the volunteer organizing committee.  This shoe is one-size-fits-all.

• Experiencing the Queen City Marathon - Coach Joe English is a professional marathon and triathlon coach from Portland, Oregon.  The 2009 SaskCentral QCM was Joe's first marathon outside the USA and he documented his experience on his very informative and entertaining website: www.Running-Advice.com.  Joe finished the SaskCentral QCM in a personal best of 2:48:41.  He was the top American full marathon finisher and 6th overall.  To read all about Joe's experience at our event, CLICK HERE.

  • Please put the chip in an envelope and mark the envelope "Attention: SaskCentral QCM" along with your name, race event and race bib number so that we know which chip is being returned.
• If you are live outside the Regina area and are unable to return the timing chip to the Regina Running Room store, put the ChampionChip in a padded envelope (that's important) along with a note listing your name, address, phone number, email address and SaskCentral QCM race bib number (that's important, too).
