Although the event has already happened, those who participated may be interested to know that early in the week of the race, race organizer, Jed Corbeil, and his committee, decided to ask Coach Pimm to measure and facilitate both the 5K and 10K races be certified by Athletics Canada.(Note - the races were run on a out and back route)
This decision was precipitated by one of Canada's outstanding age group runners, Liz Schad, who expressed a desire to try for a Canadian record in the 65 to 69 year category for 5K.. And records can only be approved if performed on a certified route, in a sanctioned event.
As it happened, Liz just missed breaking the Canadian Record of 21:15, recording an outstanding 21:27. But that did break the Ontario record. So congrats Liz !!
