Takbo.ph Around the World: Running the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon 2016

This is our first post for running around the word. We want to keep in touch and we want to know where our friends are running wherever in the globe they may be.

Our running friends Jai and Maan are now in Canada. Jai shared his first running adventure as a race volunteer for the Calgary Marathon Race Weekend.

No car? No problem. I have explored downtown Calgary on foot by running as a pace bunny for the 50km (6:00 hour finish) on the 52nd Scotiabank Calgary Marathon.

Maan, on the other hand, volunteered as a photographer for the Canadian Diabetes Association during Calgary Marathon.
