What a day! 18 C – light breezes – golden leaves – just pefect for the runners, walkers, the volunteers and the spectators!
There were 200 entries in the three distances offered (2, 5 and 10 km). We hope you liked the new format for the 2K; in previous years there were no sub-categories – the awards were given to the first 10 bodies across the finnish line, whatever age or gender. This year we introduced categories based on grade levels for elementary schools, plus a category for “everyone else”. The largest group of entries was for students in grades 4 to 6, which is also the largest group in the elementary schools’ city cross-country meet.
In the 5K distance, the largest single group was males 15 to 19 (19 entries), followed by males 40 to 49 (12 entries), then females 40 to 49 (7 entries). This just goes to show that we “mature” folks can get out there and shake a leg or two with the youngsters!
The competition between schools at both elementary and secondary levels was reduced due to the educational disputes, so we’re hoping that next year will bring a return to full participation from all secondary schools and an increase in elementary school entries. In the elementary category, 1st place went to Aweres Public School, 2nd place to Kiwedin Public School, and 3rd place to Tarentorus Public School. Well Done! In the high school categories, the 1st place school for the women was White Pines; 2nd place went to Sir James Dunn. For the high school men, 1st place was taken by Sir James Dunn while White Pines claimed 2nd place.
Abject apologies go to our oldest competitor and winner of the 10K 60+ category, Patricia Milligan from Michigan. She came, and ran and ran and ran. Next year, there will be clearly marked trail signs, maps and marshalls at each trail split. So, Patricia – please give us another chance! We hope to see you again next year.
To all of our many volunteers – Thank You! It can’t happen without you. Special thanks to Dennis Stortini of the Soo Stryders for helping John Kasch with the computer results. Good luck in your marathon, Dennis!
