"I was hoping for at least 100 racers, but the turnout was way better than we could have hoped for," said organizer Victoria Zam- bito. "There's been widespread interest in the event." Over 40 volunteers also helped out by directing racers along the route, manning water stations and ensuring the race went smoothly. Racers hailed from across Bruce, Grey and Huron counties, as well as Sarnia, London, Toronto, New- market and as far away as Connecticut. Racers of all ages took part, from as young as four, up to 73 years of age. Fathers ran with their daughters, mothers with sons, some runners brought their dogs as sidekicks and one mother walked with her baby on her chest. "I love the trail, I love the up and down... it was awesome," said racer Ray Luinstra to organizers over the loudspeaker. Racer Dave Trumble and many others credited the volunteers for taking the time paint many roots and uneven surfaces along the course, which he said has often been a factor in injuries to himself or others. Prizes were donated by West Shore Clothing Shoppe, along with a flurry of other local businesses. Racers also expressed interest in a second event in 2017. Leaderboard - Top 20 1.
