Merrickville View
The weekend of April 26/27, 2025 was a busy one on the area road running scene.
There were varying distances of 5K, 10K and the marathon 42.2K to be raced, spread over venues in Merrickville, Kingston and Cornwall . As always, our club members and other local runners accepted the challenge and performed with distinction across the board.
There were age category medal winning finishes and an exceptional sub-3 hour marathon run by Shane Curless in 2:50:15. Well done Shane. Your dedicated training certainly paid off.
Anne Hodgson kindly scoured Sportstats for the results summarized in the table below. Many thanks Anne.
