Run Oxford County

Congratulations to our four members who ran The Devil's Key 😈🗝️ yesterday hosted by Happy Trails Racing in Blue Mountain yesterday!

Fernanda Jakeman and Amanda Kat finished 1st and 2nd female respectively in the 33.3km race 🤯🤩🔥🥇🥈

Dave and Tom Pedlar ran the 66.6km race where Dave finished 10 overall 🎉💪 (8th male) and Tom overcame GI issues, which threw off his race, but did not stop him 🙌👏

Congrats again on your incredible accomplishments, everyone! Your determination makes us all so proud! 🎊

The Tuesday crew after sweating it out on the trail 💪

Look at this 100 mile man! After a dramatic 20th loop, Clayton Carberry finished his last 4 looking strong. Clayton started loop 25 and finished up after a pond loop. A new PB by EIGHT loops! Congratulations, Clayton!

Erica Dreyer went out on loop 21, said goodbye to that damned pond (IYKYK) and called it a day. New PB by 3 loops! We're immensely proud of you, Erica!

Persistence Racing

Chris Burgard RMT completed 8 loops which is over 53k - a solid 23k further than he's ever gone before! Congratulations, Chris!!

Great work, Jacob! Jacob signed up on a whim 5 days ago when a spot opened up. This was his furthest distance, over 33 km and we couldn't be more proud! He'll be back next year!

Persistence Racing

A few weekends back, two of our own competed in the World Majors at Québec Mega Trail ⛰️

Dom Cislo added another ultramarathon to his running resume - another 80kms! 🎊 Dom has had an incredible race season so far taking on whatever weather and terrain Ontario, and now Quebec, can throw at him 💪

Amanda Nelson returned to the 135km event this year hungry for another crack at it. With loads of elevation and strength training under her belt, Amanda finished 5th female! 🏆🏁 This, along with her previous World Major this year, puts her in 6th place on their female finishers rankings. 🙌

Tom Pedlar may not have technically raced this event, but he did pace Amanda for the final 34~kms of her race. For those who know Tom, his cheery demeanor and positivity is always a welcomed addition to any run or race. ☀️

Congratulations to both Dom and Amanda on their hard work and perseverance on an incredibly demanding course 👏👏👏

Another event our crew attended this past weekend was The First Blaze by Happy Trails Racing 🏁

This event was extra exciting because it was Sassy, Athena & Percy 's (who is usually accompanied by a dog or two at various pull-sport races) first ever human race, and a 10km trail run at that 🙌

Jerred took on the 25km race and finished 9th overall 🎉

Melissa O'Neil also ran the 10km where she crushed it to finish 3rd female and 8th overall 🎊

Congratulations again to Courtney, Jerred, and Mel for tackling such a technical trail in "blazing" 🤭 temperatures 👏👏👏

If you are an ROC regular or occasional member and would like a shout-out after your event, please send us a DM or tag us in your post ✨

ROC's race season is in full swing! ✨

Two of our crew took on the Summit 700 21km event which brought both challenging vert ⛰️ and temperature 🌡️

Amanda Kat came away with 5th female (and 1st her age category!), and Dave finished 12th overall! 🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations to you both on such a successful weekend! 👏👏👏

Did you know that ROC meets twice a week? The Sunday morning crew had a great turnout this morning!
