The Sporting Life 10k is one of the most accessible events in Toronto. The course is entirely downhill on a closed-off Young Street, providing a unique running atmosphere and view of the city. Furthermore, all proceeds go towards sending children with cancer to Camp OOCH. The run is Sunday, May 11th at 8am.

BESA has created a team – if you join, BESA will reimburse $20 of your registration fee for the first 15 IBBME attendees! 
Registering before April 15th ($55 + HST) gets you:
i –  $20 Sporting Life gift card!
ii – Nike Dri-Fit Shirt – $30 value! (shown below)

With the $20 BESA reimbursement, you essentially run for free! Plus, if you raise $100 online for your race, your registration fee will be completely refunded by Sporting Life! When signing up, under Team Options join the team name: UofT – Biomedical Engineering Student Association (BESA). You will be reimbursed by BESA when your name appears on the team roster!

Congratulations to all of the IBBME students who ran as part of the inaugural BESA Sporting Life 10K team! We had 18 IBBME students help send children with cancer to Camp Oochigeas this summer. We were lucky to have one of the most beautiful days (yet) this year summer – the energy was high, and the celebration afterwards was pumping. IBBME students raised almost $1000 for Camp Ooch – well done!
