The first event of the Spring 2019 5-Dollar 5K Series is in the books! It was a cold but sunny morning with a couple of icy spots on the otherwise snow-less course. Seventeen enthusiastic participants came out to test themselves over the out-and-back route.
Sechelt’s Jamie Leveque was first overall and first male, finishing in 20:54 despite having a week off training due to illness. Second and third overall and top two females were Elphinstone track team members Sacha Stipec and Kallalei Ryden of Gibsons, in 22:06 and 22:14, respectively.
Remaining races in the series are three Sundays, Feb. 24, March 3 and March 10. All start at 9 a.m. except for the final one, which will start at 10 a.m. to offset the start of Daylight Savings Time.
Organizers wish to thank the volunteers: Susan and Randy, Jamie, Nadine and Cliff.
