CAMROSE, AB- After a standout performance at the season-opening Running Room Grand Prix, third-year runner Allyson Thain has earned the title of Vikings Athlete of the Week.
On September 6, the Concordia University of Edmonton Thunder hosted the first ACAC Running Room Grand Prix of the 2025 season at Gold Bar Park in Edmonton. Thain rose to the occasion, powering through the course to secure a 10th-place finish with an impressive time of 26:46, averaging a 4:28 pace.
With this strong start, Thain has set the tone for what promises to be an exciting season for both herself and the Vikings. The team now turns its focus to the next stop on the circuit—the Running Room Grand Prix #2 in Lethbridge on September 20.
