About our Club

The Fort McMurray Running Club (FMRC) was established in 1983. We are a not for profit group, open to runners, family and friends, and all those interested in the promotion of a healthy, active lifestyle in Fort McMurray and area.

Our club executive members are volunteers giving freely of their time to plan, promote and support running events in our community. We organize many local races each year, and assist other local organizations and their running events with advertising, equipment, logistics and volunteers.

Membership is free, and anyone may join by registering in any of our events as a participant or volunteer. Executive members are needed for the positions of Vice President and Webmaster. Please contact Adrian or Barry if you would like more information about these roles.

Lace up your running shoes and come out and join us! We look forward to running with you.

Appreciation to Past Directors

Brian Sanden:  Oil Sands Marathon Director (2004-2006)

Brian has been a strong contributor to the Running Club for many years including three years as Marathon Director. 

Becky Fadden: Oil Sands Marathon Director (2007-2008)

Becky is a busy lady. in 2008, she organized the NLTC Kids of Steel, a learn-to-run program and the Oil Sands Marathon. Thanks a bunch, Becky.

Bob Nyen: Timing and Results Director (2005-2006)

Bob was Director of Timing and Results for the past two years. He continues to help out with events and photography.

Sue King:  Treasurer (2005-2006)

Sue was the Treasurer of the club for two years but has left town. She, with audit help from Johanna, got us caught up on our government reporting.

Bob Skoye: Webmaster (2004-2007)

Bob raised our website standards in recent years and also organized the Mayors Run. He has moved to Calgary. He plans to cheer on Bill at Woody's and catch up with us all there.

Thank you all for your time and dedication to our club and running community!

Past President - Bruce Predham (2004-2007)

After three years as FMRC President and over 30 years in Fort McMurray, Bruce decided it was time for a change and has moved to Calgary. Bruce was dedicated and tireless behind the scenes in organizing events and gatherings for the running, triathlon and biking communities in Fort McMurray.

We all wish our friend the very best of adventures in his new life in southern Alberta. Though our loss is Calgary's gain, Bruce assures us that because he is still working in the Oil Sands industry, Fort McMurray will never be far away.

Thanks sincerely Bruce, from all of us. Now please return the Club's keys to the Porsche and the condo in Whistler!
