The Swag Brag Wheel has chosen!

we've got 3 lucky runners joining us because the wheel chose them!

In a dimly lit garage somewhere in Northern Ontario, Creative Director Chris and Race Director Trish gave the wheel of swag brag three good spins and out of that, 3 runners were selected to win a free entry into our April 26th, 2025 race.


We were blown away by the support this year receiving 59 entries by social media and email to show off your PYP swag from years gone by. Our #BragYourSwag contest is a chance for us to thank you, the running community for your continued support of our not-for-profit race held annually in the Copeland forest. In addition this year our amazing electrolyte and gel sponsor, Hammer Nutrition Canada wanted to thank you as well with some great grab bags of Hammer gels and Heed. Thanks so much to Richard and Hammer Nutrition Canada for continuing to be a great partner to work with and thank all of you who took the time to submit your fun photos!

What a great collection of flavours including Apple Cinnamon!

If you managed to tune into our live stream on Facebook or Instagram on Friday night you would have seen our fun little PYP studio with the winner trophies mounted on the wall and an illegible TV screen showing the swag brag wheel. Despite the amazing professionality to our studio and camera setup, the draw is a lot of fun for us as we get to see pictures of your wonderful runs (and beverages) all summer. We were blown away by some of the great gear we saw and wanted to share some of our favourites featuring some really great classic swag!


Showing Off The Classics

If you know Gord you know his wonderful passion for running and here he shows us quite possibly the most extensive collection of PYP swag we've ever seen! He's got the virtual 2020 socks, the brown and orange fire socks, the red Outways, the limited edition glass, a jar of honey and we don't even know what year the yellow and green shirts are from!! Amazing picture Gord and thanks so much for bragging several years of swag!


Geoff has his own mighty collection across many years including the red Outways, the red "Don't Tread on Me" shirt and a matching set of collector edition glasses!


Finally Stephen sent us in a fun optical illusion! If you look real carefully, you'll see 3 Stephens on the Tijuana sign and all three of him are wearing some pretty great throwback shirts!


Hey, Did You Win Those Socks or something?

It is really challenging to take selfies of your socks, so huge props to all those who sent us some shots of the finisher socks over the years. Anthony and Jesse sent us shots of the 8 bit Mario edition while Liisa and Slowassrunner sent us shots of their red Outways. Sneaking in a pair of our purple virtual 2020 year is Tracy who took this pic while in the Copeland forest! Nice job all!



The wheel chose you!

Finally, our 3 big winners are: Charlotte who had a friend text us her entry, Caitlin who submitted through Insta, and Tom who emailed us his entry. Congratulations all! Race Director Rhonda will be reaching out to get you a code and Richard from Hammer Nutrition Canada will be sending you your Hammer gel and Heed grab bags in the mail!


If the wheel missed you this year, don't worry, registration is right around the corner. Set your alarms for Dec 1 @ 8pm. We've got the Race Roster page setup so you can bookmark it and be ready to grab a spot. Until then, enjoy your fall runs!
