Our Run Club put together a team representing Ray Zahab's organization i2P. Among our group members was Liz Perras along with her daughter and boyfriend. Thank you, Liz and company, for participating--it was great to see you again!
Those of us from Run Club who put together the i2P Team did so partly in gratitude to Ray for coming to speak to us, but mostly because, after he spoke, we were so inspired, we wanted to help him empower others.
We were joined by runners from Ottawa Public Health so we grew into a quite respectably sized team.
Team Good Guys Tri cheered us on because they also support i2P!

After the run, participants mixed and mingled on the rooftop terrace of the Rideau Centre
...where there were prizes, après-run yoga, socializing, photos, treats by Vega and…donations for the charity who had the most representatives at the run.
Our Team i2P came in 5th out of 13 charities, thanks to the combined efforts of our group and OPH! We won $250 for i2P to continue their amazing work of educating, inspiring and empowering youth through adventure running. Next year, watch out: we're gonna blow Run4aC away with Team i2P 2014!
Here are a few vids of the event:
