A total of 121 starters competed in the following 4 events: 3 km walk and run, 800 and 1,600 metres races and the popular 1,600-metre relay (2 adults/2 children).
Well done to the youngsters who took part in all four events, and congratulations to Rose Bruneau-Lessieur who came 2nd in the 3 km, 800 m and 1,600 m, and to Edan Lamoureux who came 3rd in the 800 m and 1,600 m. In the boys' category, congratulations to Pierre Gaudet, 1st in the 800 m and 2nd in the 1,600 m. Bravo!
The smoothie bike is always a popular post-race activity....each participant pedals to operate the blender that provides a delicious smoothie. What a delight!
