NORTH BAY, ONTARIO AUGUST 22, 2026

The SATURDAY PAIRR in North Bay brought together 42 runners for an all-paces track workout. A little rain didn't stop us from getting the track workout in together, led by Kim, PAIRR Co-founder and elite Canadian marathoner.

After the workout, we headed to TWIGGS for the après-run coffee and pastries on-theme for a track workout aka the perfect SATURDAY PAIRRING.

RUN TOGETHER.
STAY FOR COFFEE.

TWIGGS

APRÈS-RUN.

From the track to TWIGGS. A custom set menu of punny coffee and sweet treat combinations: "A Latte of Laps" (latte + butter croissant), "Carb Diem" (bagel + cappuchino) and "Grounds for Speed" (drip coffee + cookie). A cozy space where PAIRR Co-founder Kim talked about the brand and answered running questions. A time to hang out after the run — exactly how a Saturday morning should finish.
