Phoenix would like to apologize for the misdirection of runners in the Kids' 800m Fun Run. Many competitors ran much further than the actual 800m course. However, we would like to congratulate the first boy and girl who crossed the finish line: Noah Wynhoven (age 6) and Amy Ferguson (age 7.) If these two runners would like their trophies mailed to them, please contact nancy_tinari@yahoo.com.

Any questions? Contact nancy_tinari@yahoo.com .

About the Phoenix Running Club

We are a Coquitlam-based road, track and trail club. We meet two to four times a week for training sessions and cater to all age groups from enthusiastic juniors to more senior runners - some fast and some rather more cautious.

Come out and join us for trail running at Mundy Park (starting from the west gravel parking lot off Hillcrest St.) on a Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. and/or Monday, Wednesday or Thursday mornings. You are welcome to try a couple of workouts with no obligation to join the club. Please see the workouts page for times and planned activities. Track practices are not regular during the winter but may resume on Tuesday/Thursday evenings in April. Please contact Warren McCulloch for more information about track practices.

The map below shows the location of our meeting place in Mundy Park. The small inset photo can't do justice to the beauty of the park! You'll have to come and see the 12 kilometres of groomed trails for yourself. The map also shows the location of one of our training tracks.

Membership Forms

If you haven't yet renewed your membership (or are a new member wishing to join), you can print and fill out the forms below. Please note that you need to return the forms with payment to Heather Taylor. Heather is virtually always available at the Saturday morning workouts.
