We are from the Aurora Masters Lacrosse. Most of us have been playing lacrosse for more years than we care to acknowledge, but we still love the game, sharing the game with others and giving back to the community. Our association has been in Aurora for over five years now and we were looking for other ways of enhancing the sense of community.

Lacrosse IS the fastest game on two feet! But to be successful, players must possess qualities such as endurance and stamina. During a marathon lacrosse game, well, you can imagine the determination required to complete this task. Unfortunately, these efforts pale in comparison to work completed by the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness and the Spirit of the Stick. We applaud the support they provide to individuals who have suffered from the effects of violence, neglect and marginalization. We are extremely proud to announce our third annual event where we celebrate both groups' determination to go the distance!

We have planned this event for two reasons: First, we would like to support an honourable organizations called the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness (CCAA Information Pamphlet & Detailed Program Descriptions) and Jim Veltman's Spirit of the Stick. Second, we would like to increase the awareness of Canada's original national sport by playing the longest recorded box game in modern history. If everything proceeds as planned, the officials from a well respected record acknowledging organization will confirm our efforts.

We have scheduled our marathon lacrosse game to start on Friday June 11 at 6:00 pm and will run until noon Saturday June 12, 2010. This will be a single continuous game between two independent teams officiated under the sanction of the Ontario Lacrosse Association's Master Division and will be verified by a well respected record acknowledging organization. Teams will be composed of Masters players from across the province, local minor players, in addition to players from the NLL and both celebrity runners and coaches.

This event will be held at the Aurora Community Centre (Google Map Coordinates) which is located in the town above the city above Toronto!

The success of this event is directly related to how the community pulls together! No person is an island and in times of need everyone should heed the call to help!
