Run for the Romaine!

Alliance Romaine is looking for committed runners to participate in a chain of marathons connecting the Rupert River, near James Bay, to the Romaine River, on the North Shore. The purpose of this campaign is to draw attention to the challenges facing Quebec’s wild rivers, and to press the Quebec government to halt construction of the hydroelectric complex on the Romaine.

The event will begin in early September, making publicity stops in towns and urban centres.

Participants will work in affinity groups, and should be willing to undergo a rigorous training programme, involving practise three times a week.

If you are interested, please contact Alliance Romaine at info@allianceromaine.org

We also invite interested runners to attend an upcoming slideshow presentation on the Romaine River (date to be announced), or any Alliance Romaine meeting.
