RESULTS! Success!! FUN!!!
A good running day - cloudy & chilly but no rain & the wind did let up. The runners were happy to participate in this 1st Annual event - we raised over $50 for the Nanaimo food bank as well as a bunch of canned goods. Thanks to Sheila for her lovely gift bags for the marathon finishers, to Anne Heyes & Neil Gallagher for all their help & a shout out to Nanaimo Running Room for the draw prizes!

Thank you Angela for oranizing an event such as this. Imagine, Nanaimo's first and only marathon!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that we can all attest to the efforts you (and your helpers) put into this race. I really appreciated the snacks you provided for us in between laps, the first-aid treatment for my blistered foot, and for the hot chocolate and blanket at the end of the run. I must say that the finisher's medal is by far the most meaningful in my collection. This race had wonderful overtones of grass-roots!
I look forward to the 2010 edition of the run.
Sincerely,
Peter
p.s. thanks for cheering us on Beatrice!
