The CFC Calgary Flyers Running Club

“Calgary Flyers” was formed in summer 2007, by a bunch of enthusiastic, but by no means elite runners, who were CFC members and families/friends of members, to train for the Rocky Mountain Half-Marathon, that was held at Canmore each September.  Although some of the team had previously competed at that distance and beyond, for others it was the first time they had ever run an endurance event.  It was a fantastic day and all of our team completed the course in fine style, achieving personal goals that had them grinning from ear to ear.

Since then Flyers have taken part in the Canmore Half again and many other events from 5km fun runs to full marathons and even an Ironman triathlon. We’re not superfit elites who run 20km before breakfast every day (well, not every day!); we’re just ordinary folks trying to stay fit to fly and enjoy life.

This year we’ll be flying the CFC flag again at a number of running events – well, not actually the flag, more the logo on our T-shirts.  We’ll also be arranging training runs of various distances/paces to suit all levels of runner.  Information on upcoming events involving “Flyers” will be posted on the board in Dispatch and will appear on this website.

Why not join us?  Partners, family and friends are also very welcome.  For more information contact either John Thorpe or Linda Andersen

Still not sure if running is for you?  Well, bear in mind that there are two types of people: those who run, and those who should!
