Our 2018 Manure and Soil Fundraising Sale has completed! A HUGE thank you to all of our supporters, especially the hard working athlete, parent, and coach volunteers who made the whole thing possible. 2018 appears to have been our biggest sale yet, with over 7,000 bags delivered across Vancouver! Happy Gardening, and here's to a hopefully ☀️ filled spring! .

Last minute Christmas shopping? We got you covered. Grab a new Thunderbird tee, long sleeve, hoodie, or crew neck here☝️(link in bio). Something for the whole family!

Foggy night at UBC track last night. Made perfect for some speedy 150s from Flock Athlete, Katherine Tournigy and even better for our JD athletes game of Man Hunt! .

Last weekend @thunderbirdstrackclub gave one final push for the XC season at the #gunnershawxc 5 and 10km at Jericho Beach Park. Safe to say it was a little wet outside!! Robyn Mildren took the overall 10km win, @hhonor was second in her debut 10k, @maya_baechler and @brayden__runz won their respective junior 5k divisions! .
