A different 3 run series this year, we only had 2 runs! This was down to Mother Nature who visited some severe cold weather on us for the January 24 event and in the interests of safety the run was cancelled. To my knowledge this was a first such cancellation since the inaugural event in 1997.
Runs #2 and #3 went ahead as planned but #3 on March 28 hit a surprise snag. Due to some renovations to the Memorial Centre, access to the building itself was not available.
In true BRRC spirit, Barb Marshall and crew set up a registration table outdoors near the start line in chilly conditions. Runners registered there before the race and of course checked in at Barb’s table on finishing.
Thanks again to Janet Wynands for organizing yet another series from her first such in 2008. Thanks also to all those who volunteered at the start/finish area and out the course for both runs. Thanks also to all participants.
Shane Curless again designed and produced the commemorative shirts with a special FYBs version of our logo.
Congrats to the overall series winners, based on average time over the 2 runs:
1K: Margaux Coville in 4:27 and
5K: Shane Curless in 18:30 and Lilah Kinch in 20:14
Full detailed results are available here. Access to FYB#2 results are available from the main menu Results tab.
