2019 ENDURrun Champions: interview and photoshoot
Rob and Robyn both overcame massive obstacles to become ENDURrun Champions in 2019. Names aside, it was an otherwise different story for each. Robert Brouillette, off four consecutive wire-to-wire championships, actually raced five full Stages before being awarded the Gold Jersey. He was pushed to the limit by his competitors and in the end, it… Read more »
Thank you, volunteers
This race wouldn’t be possible without runners, obviously. It wouldn’t be possible without sponsors, or without the support from key partners like the Waterloo Regional Police Service, City of Waterloo, and Chicopee Ski & Summer Resort. And it certainly wouldn’t be the same without many such groups, including Health + Performance, Running Rarebits, Runners’ Choice,… Read more »

Who or what inspired you today?
When you have a love/hate relationship with ski hills and associated trails, you need to draw inspiration. We asked the Ultimates where they got it today. Runner is Ken, he earned it!

Stage 6: Heat assignments and start times
For the first time, Stage 6 is a 10,000m track race with heats. These heats are based on Cumulative Time after Stage 5, with minor adjustments for Relay seed time.

Perfect day at Chicopee for monumental performances
Last year, Chicopee had heartbreak in store for Robyn Collins. Crushing the 2018 ENDURrun, even a small setback (+5 min split from fastest to slowest lap) allowed Valery Hobson to drop the hammer and take a lead she would not relinquish. This year, Robyn ran a consistent and controlled race and cleared a major obstacle… Read more »
