TRED Group Runs Kick-off Party

We’re super excited to annouce at MATR is a part of the TRED (Trail. Run. Explore. Dream) North American Tour of group runs this summer, sponsored by The North Face.

When: Every Wednesday from July 3 to September 25; 5:45 pm meet up, 6:00 pm welcome and run, social hour starts around ~6:30-45 or whenever you’re done running for the evening
Where: Westview Park, meet at the north face of the hill

As a part of the North American tour, we’ll host 13 urban group runs in the summer. Each Wednesday between July 3 and September 25, we’ll host a weekly group run at Garbage Hill, where we can’t wait to share miles and smiles with you. Each week, we’ll have cool prizes to give away from The North Face. MATR is one of five running groups in Canada selected to host TRED tour events in 2024.

After the run, please join us for some social time to connect and chat with new and old friends over snacks and a cold drink. We’ll provide snacks and cold drinks for our kick-off run to share with you picnic-style. Please feel free to bring a snack to share, as well!

The run: Garbage Hill has something for everyone. We’ll play on the single-track, the sledding hill, the gravel path, and heck, we’ll even run on the road a bit. The idea behind picking Garbage Hill is that there is something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for some intense vert gains or you’re new to trails and hills, we can all run together-ish. Each run will have a couple of co-hosts from our MATR volunteer team to keep the vibes high AND lead the run.

This is a family-friendly run. Feel free to bring your partner, children, or anyone else you’d think would enjoy a summer evening at the hill. We’ll also host some extra special evenings with games for people of all ages.

Each run is co-hosted by at least two MATR volunteers with Alain, Adam, Carrie, Cat, Mallory, and Miriam as your run leaders.

See you at the hill!!
