McMaster 24 Hours of Sport

As per Marauder tradition, the Cross Country and Track teams participate in the annual Relay for Life event, supporting the Canadian Cancer Society. However, this year the Relay for Life fell the same weekend as the 2015 CIS Track and Field Championships in Windsor.

As many of us were planning to travel to Windsor to support our lone Marauder, Jeff Tweedle in the Men's 1000m event, we decided to change up the tradition this year. Instead, we entered a McMaster XC/Track team into the 24 Hours of Sport event (doubling the number of hours of Relay for Life, which is only 12 hours). The event began at 3pm on Friday March 27th and ended 3pm Saturday March 28th.

This event consisted of 24 Hours of organized sports; from basketball, spin classes and rock climbing to bubble soccer, water polo and dodgeball. Money raised was donated to the charities McMaster Athletes Care and Right to Play. Our team of 15 raised $450 towards the cause.

Needless to say, our all participants were exhausted by the end,  but deemed the event a success.

Here are a few photos of Marauders in action!
