2013 KRRA Race Series Event #2
KRRA - Twosome Run 5k
This race is organized and supported by the Kingston Road Runners Association in support of
KRRA charitable causes as well as the
Limestone Learning Foundation.
In this unique Winter event, runners compete as individuals for KRRA series points, but can also compete as male-female teams
for "twosome" overall and combined age group placings.
The course takes runners along city streets through the Queen's University campus and past many of the historic "Old Stones" of
Kingston. Post race refreshments and awards take place in the warmth of the school gymnasium.
