Narrative
A lovely summer evening was enjoyed by all. The Novice course of 2.1 km was enjoyed by several family and friend groups. Three generations of Nishikawas divided into groups depending on their speed. Young Oliver Johnson did well on the sandy hills and earned some melon and a cookie at the Finish area.
The THOMASS score O, offered the participants a chance to go head to head on the same course as the young and/or experienced. With a handicapping system dependent on age and gender, each participant had to "collect" between 1 to 7 controls in a certain area on the map. This meant that speedy ten year old Nelia Turcotte handily beat out her parents and brother.
Many thanks to Registration Volunteers Grant Abbott and Afan Jones. And thanks to Deb Kiemele with help picking up equipment.
