Christine Blanchette
I am an avid runner who enjoys competing in many races from cross country to the marathon. I have raced in high profile events including the Boston Marathon. I was ranked second fastest woman in Canada in the 50k distance at Elk Lake, Victoria, B.C. in 2000.
I’m freelance writer/running columnist for both The Richmond Review and The Sherbrooke Record on the subjects of running/Fitness and health. I have contributed articles to Canadian Running Magazine, Women’s Post, Impact Magazine, The Seattle Times and Get Out There Magazine. In addition, I am a running instructor with UBC and the City of Richmond who enjoys helping others to reach their goals. I also teach running privately or in small groups, if interested please drop me a line.
I’m a host/coordinator for the Runner Girl Speaker Series, an annual event on running/health held in the fall at South Arm Community Centre in Richmond.
Presently, I am a KP Ambassador with KP Athletic Wear. www.kpathleticwear.com (check out my blog posts on this site)

healing are present. We believe in finding solutions in the best interest of
