Phil's running career began at the young age of 48 when he ran his first race "Run for Love" in Woodstock, NB in 1991 and continued for more than 30 years. Run for Love was an appropriate name of a race to begin his running career as that is what Phil did, ran for the love of it.

Since that time, Phil ran more than 500 races, including 43 Marathons, seven of which were the Boston Marathon. He participated in races all over the province, nationally and internationally winning many of these in his age group.

Running was not the only thing Phil contributed to the running world.  He also served two terms as President of Run NB in 1991 and 2001. He was also a committee member of many other runs both locally and provincially.

The induction will be part of RunNB's annual general meeting and awards luncheon that will take place on Saturday, November 16. Details to follow shortly.
