The Times Advocate, 2008-07-30, Page 9Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Times—Advocate 9 South Huron Trail Run Aug. 10 Summer reading EXETER — Thousands of people exer- cise on the South Huron Trail at Exeter each year and on Aug. 10, runners will have a chance to race in the RBC South Huron Trail Run. The eight -kilometre run is part of the Runners' Choice RunPiker series of eight races throughout southwestern Ontario. About 200 runners from across southern Ontario came to Exeter last year for this unique run. Most races in the series are on city streets but this race follows the Ausable River through the MacNaughton-Morrison Trail and Morrison Dam Conservation Area. The runners love the shaded, scenic course, according to long-time race orga- nizer and RunPiker participant Arn Spivey of Exeter. Runners from Exeter, Dashwood, St. Marys and Zurich have already registered. Not everyone has their sights set on the Olympics. For many, this is a chance to run with family and friends. Regardless, the run has official timers and gives everyone a chance to see how quickly they can complete an eight -kilometre race. As was the case in the first four years of the event, the race raises funds for the new trail, but this year runners can also support Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron (BBBSSH). Donations are eligible for tax receipts and the entry fee is waived if runners raise $50 in pledges. "This event blends well with the goals of our agency by showcasing some great local runners who can inspire children," said BBBSSH president Kate Monk. "And we're always looking for ways to raise money for our pro- grams." This is the first year a major sponsor has been sought and the Exeter branch of RBC has come on board, said Monk. Other area businesses are contributing cash and merchandise for the event. Both the 9 a.m. two -kilometre fun run for children and the 9:30 a.m. eight -kilo- metre race start at the South Huron Recreation Complex Ag Building. Spectators are welcome to line the route to cheer on the athletes. The races add even more excitement to the Exeter Rodeo weekend. Runners can register online at www.run- nerschoice.on.ca or entry forms are avail- able at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority office or website (www. abca. on. ca) or BBBSSH office at Community Living in Dashwood. Camp Menesetung celebrates 75 years By Joan Beierling VARNA CORRESPONDENT VARNA – The annual pic- nic worship service for Varna Goshen was at the pavilion at the complex. Ministerial sup- ply Colin Snyder led the wor- ship. Colin's sermon was on the 'Spirit of the Laughing Christ". The children's time was also on Christ laughing. The choir sang a children's song I Prayed in the Tub and every- one laughed. Following the service Colin introduced himself and his wife Heather, daughter Crystal and son Peter. A great pot luck luncheon was enjoyed by all along with good fellowship. Deb Rathwell sent around guess the jelly beans, one for children and one for adults. The winner of the children's was Tyler Colclough, and winner of the adults' was Anson McKinley. It was good to have Anson and Evelyn visiting.
