It was a fabulous launch weekend for us at Run Little Monkey. Had a great time at the Divas Half Marathon & 5K. Friday and Saturday we met a bunch of amazing women (and some great guys) at our booth at the health and fitness boutique. Everyone was really supportive and a super special thanks to those who bought some of our shirts and hats (we totally sold out of white running hats!). On Sunday we were out running and cheering runners on what turned out to be a beautiful but hot day for racing. Inspiring as always to see so many women, moms, daughters, sisters, friends, grandmothers, and all their families and supporters out there running. Here are a...
We're excited to have our first booth at a running expo this weekend.

We feel community engagement is very important so we're running off to support Canadian Civil Liberties Association gala on April 27 as a sponsor for its silent auction. Looks to be a great evening honouring 20 remarkable Canadians and a live video chat with Edward Snowden.
Team Run Little Monkey has been in training all winter and over the Easter weekend participated in our first race in Toronto. It was a great day that started off with a gaggle of enthusiastic kids running a 1K race along the boardwalk in the Beaches.

Looking forward to seeing you at more races this summer.
