Run Canada – Last spring Athletics Canada launched a road running pilot program entitled Run Canada Month (RCM) to aid in growing and creating a main focal point for Canada's large road running community. As we move into a new season of RCM, fundraising efforts will be ramped up with generated funds directed to support the preparation of marathoners who qualify to represent Canada at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow.

$\"NTLlogo\"$ National Track League

Stay tuned to athletics.ca in January for the latest news on the National Track League including announcing the series dates, and feature events.

With two men and two women already meeting the Moscow 2013 standard, three of which have yet to compete at the Olympic Games, the hope is that the project will serve as the tipping point for male and female elite marathon running. Your support of the RCM 2013 fundraising efforts can ensure these athletes succeed on the streets of Russia, and then in Rio 2016.
