The Second Annual Eagle Wings Walk & Roll Run was an amazing success! Although the race was postponed 4 weeks because it there was about 3 inches of snow on the course the day we originally planned on having the race. Since it wasn't safe, we had to postpone it to April 26, 2008 and what a beautiful day it turned out to be. In fact, it was so nice I got a little bit of sunburn to remember the event.
There were about 200 people
gathered for the event. A band was playing, hot dogs were roasting
and a host of other activities. Out of the crowd arose forty-one
(41) 10k participants and sixty-seven (67) 5k-ers. Are your math
skills current? That's 108 runners, walkers & rollers!!!
Greg Waters was the first runner across the line with a 5k time of only
18 minutes 44.17 seconds ... that's an average just under 10 miles per
hour over the length of the course.
The first 10k runner to cross the finish line was one of Arlington Runners Club members, Shawn Bussert, who crossed the finish line in a smoking time of 37 minutes 5.44 seconds and that's an amazing average speed of 10 miles per hour.
But these events are not only about speed and championship performance, they are mainly about community and healthy activities and raising money for excellent non-profit organizations like Eagle Wings DisABILITY. We hope you will join us for every one of the Fun Runs and meet your neighbors in the community.
Oh, you're probably curious who the last person was across the line. Well, you'll have to show up for the next event and see for yourself.
PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS! If you missed out on our last Fun Run for Eagle Wings DisABILITY, you want to get ready to have a blast at our next fun run. The next event is scheduled for May 31st (the weekend AFTER Memorial Day) and it is the THIRD annual Gleneagle Community Fun Run. This was the very first Fun Run ARC put on & we are proud to do it again.
The race proceeds go to Dollars for Scholars and they use the monies to give deserving high school graduates a college scholarship. What's really cool about this year's event is the folks over at Dollars for Scholars have gone all out to make this a very special day. There will be lots of great door prizes given away and the GRAND PRIZE is a trip to the Harrison Hot Springs! That's right, a great chance for you and someone special to get away and relax at the amazing Harrison Hot Springs in Harrison, BC. One of my coworkers escapes there when possible and he says it's fantastic.
As we've said
before, these events are fun for all age groups & are community
oriented. It gets you out of the house an
d
doing something healthy. The more people who come to the Fun Run,
the more scholarships they can give our graduating Seniors - and that's
a major part of the reason we have these events.
If you like to run and run hard, this is the course for you. The course starts at the Pioneer Elementary School and winds its way through the Gleneagle community. It has some great hills to get your heart pumping. It's my favorite course to walk as the people are friendly, the neighborhood is beautiful and it's not a boring, flat course. Hope to see you there.
