Well......... my daughter & I took $56.90 to the Salvation Army as well as 4 big bags of nonperishable food. So I would say the 1st Annual Solstice Marathon was a success!! Thank you to all who turned up & ran or volunteered or cheered! Hope to see you all next year! Tuesday, Dec 21, 2010!!

RESULTS! Success!! FUN!!!

A good running day - cloudy & chilly but no rain & the wind did let up. The runners were happy to participate in this 1st Annual event - we raised over $50 for the Nanaimo food bank as well as a bunch of canned goods. Thanks to Sheila for her lovely gift bags for the marathon finishers, to Anne Heyes & Neil Gallagher for all their help & a shout out to Nanaimo Running Room for the draw prizes!
