Thanks everyone for enduring the wind at the second leg of the 2013 Economical ENDURrace!

Recap

After a brief moment of silence, the race was underway at 6:03pm. Runners enjoyed a flat 8km box through the residential streets of Elmira, Ontario. Despite the wind, we saw some PBs out there today!

A total of 747 runners participated in the two ENDURrace legs. Pledges of $5000 are donated to the local United Way.

Also, we had a special guest in attendance – Ted Seyler of the New Hamburg Classic Races. We announced plans to incorporate the great tradition into the Waterloo Running Series for 2014! Further details will be available online soon.

Results

Awards were presented for the 8km event, as well as the combined totals. In the 8km race, David Anderson won the men’s event with a time of 28:29. Catherine Sukkau’s first place time was 32:46.

Our two leaders from the 5km maintained their positions for the overall championships. Congratulations to Chris Doyle (47:35) and Catherine Sukkau (52:39)!

Great @runwaterloo #EndurRace today. Somehow I placed second in my age group for the combined 8k & 5k and won $250 in the draw.
