TISC Skaters Come Out In Big Numbers To Support Canada Day Marathon

July 2, 2009

TISC’s skaters came out in full force to support the Canada Day Marathon in Cambridge. The yearly event, which takes place on July 1st, is organized by Jim Mallard and well supported by TISC with participants, logistics, and volunteers.

The Toronto Inline Skating Club’s orange, blue, and black coulours were zooming on Cambridge’s roads, with skaters on their way to personal-best times as well as podium finishes.

The ever important post-race BBQ was well-received by the participants.

What better way to celebrate Canada’s 142nd birthday by participating in an inline skating event and sharing food and good times with friends.
