 * keep: Running clubs might seem inconsequential outside the running community, but the criteria for an article's notability quite rightly relates to the significance of the subject matter within the relevant community.  Apparently, the club hails from a large suburb within the 5th largest metro area in North America.  The demographics of this fast growing region indicate this apparently cohesive running club will likely grow rapidly also.  The fact that only a handful of running clubs have articles in the Wiki indicates that this niche has been badly neglected.  Until a critical mass of such articles can be amassed to provide a gauge, it seems premature to decide this particlular club is not yet worth inclusion.  Ombudsman 11:02, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as NN. "Will likely grow" is not good enough. Recreate when/if they reach the notability standards for WP. Don't forget the Running maniacs redirect as well when deleting. Turnstep 00:28, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm a Torontonian and I still don't think a running group in Bowmanville is notable. Bearcat 01:56, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
