Inviting all of Queer Run Club (QRC), lurkers, and supporters to a party at The Drake Hotel on Sun Sept 22, 3pm to 6pm. What are we celebrating? Celebrate our 3-year anniversary of QRC's existence in the queer community building and fostering queer joy! 3 years running QRC is no small feat. Remember the days when there were no queer sport clubs around?! It’s been a life changing journey creating QRC, as I am sure it has impacted a lot of you as well. Collectively, we (MK, Aislin) are excited to finally throw a party to bring everyone to celebrate the connections and friendships at QRC outside of our usual Saturday routine. What's the vibe? We're excited to hang out with you all in non-running clothes. We encourage you to show up in an outfit that makes you feel good (😉) especially when you don’t have to run. Or run2party, whatever works for you. There may be some giveaways and YOU BET there will be a chaotic group “photo” of some sort, as per usual lol. What you get with your ticket? Tickets are $15* and each entry will include snacks and chance to win raffle prizes. Alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase at the bar. *If we could host the event for free, we would have. We received a gift card from Pride and Remembrance Run a couple of years ago for the Drake Hotel but unfortunately after applying our gift card, we still need to cover costs for the minimum spend of the event. All of the ticket price go towards balance of renting the space, snacks, and small fee to help manage the tickets and attendees. Why 3pm to 6pm? Yes, this is an afternoon party! Is anyone else excited??! Honestly 3pm to 6pm means you can get your Sunday errands done but not too late before the Sunday scaries kick in. Final Words HUGE THANK YOU TO AISLIN AND DENISE for leading the planning of this party. They put their smart minds together to finalize the details. It would warm our hearts to see all of us come together 😌 Hope to see you there, MK and Aislin More questions? See FAQ below. Information Source: Queer Run Club (QRC) | eventbrite
